Another Traveling Trunk program completed by our Education team at the Dekalb County Scott Candler Branch Library. Had lots of fun talking #juneteenth
An orange rolling case labeled "Traveling Trunks" sits on a sidewalk outside a brick building. Above it, a white sign mounted on the wall reads "Scott Candler Branch Entrance" with a large arrow pointing to the right. The bright orange educational trunk stands beneath the sign, suggesting it has arrived at or is being delivered to the library branch.

When hate crimes occur, they don’t just harm individuals; they leave scars and can affect families, communities and, at times, the entire nation. 📢 As #HateCrimesAwarenessMonth continues, commit to standing up, speaking out and refusing hate — however and whenever it occurs.
