Dear Community,

*Books can be a crucial sanctuary-a place of refuge, safety, and healing.*

Thanks to an incredibly generous donation from a retired school librarian
(!!)...

I'm Your Neighbor Books is offering *Sanctuary Stories
<https://imyourneighborbooks.org/sanctuary-stories/>*
-free and privacy-protected books packages for students/families impacted
by ICE.

*Each Sanctuary Stories book package contains*:

1) A book(s) about a family negotiating the impact of ICE (like* Efrén
Divided
<https://imyourneighborbooks.org/book/efren-dividido-efren-divided/>* or *I
Wish You Knew <https://imyourneighborbooks.org/book/i-wish-you-knew/>*, in
Spanish or English)

2) A culturally-aligned book(s) that is steeped in the joy of community
connection.


*How does it work?*

1) Librarians, teachers, or neighbors can request *Sanctuary Stories
<https://imyourneighborbooks.org/sanctuary-stories/>* from I'm Your
Neighbor Books for a family they would like to support. The info requested does
not include the family's name or location.

2) I'm Your Neighbor Books curates and ships a box to the librarian,
teacher, or neighbor.

3) Librarian, teacher, or neighbor delivers to the student or family.

Learn more and share <https://imyourneighborbooks.org/sanctuary-stories/>.
