It’s National Library Week! This year’s Honorary Chair is THE Mychal Threets. He exudes library joy, and his recently released children’s book has become one of my favorites. It’s all about how the library is a safe third space in your local community, where everyone belongs ✨

Local elections might not have the razzle-dazzle of the presidential ones, but they’re where real change begins.
