Good Morning,
I hope that you will be able to join us for our weekly episode of Live from the Library today. https://youtu.be/ZbUT-UGzk0A
There are a lot of stressful things happening in our country and community right now, and I want you to know that I am here if you need anything. We will be booktalking some really great books that could help us process what is happening, as well as provide either a window (view into someone's life who is different from us) or a mirror (reflects our own experiences). One of these book talks will be Torrey Maldonado's new book "What Lane." He is scheduled to be our virtual author visit on Wednesday, June 17th from 11:30. For more information or to sign up, click here.
Tomorrow we will be with Christina Soontornvat, who will be talking about "A Wish in the Dark." If you would like to join us, email me and I will share the link with you tomorrow morning!
Watch her book talk here.
Have a productive and active day!
Melissa
