Hey guys! We are almost through the first 9 weeks and I am going to do a restock of snacks! If anyone would like to help please feel free! I can't stand for any kid to go hungry and I know how hard it is to focus when your stomach is growling! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

It's NATIONAL READ A BOOK DAY! Today is a day to take a little time for yourself if you can and read a book! The literary equivalent of slowing down to smell the roses! I hope everybody has an excellent Sunday!

I saw a meme today that said that books are proof that strangers can meet across centuries and still understand each other. That really resonated.

I haven’t seen this mentioned yet: Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has a bilingual English-Spanish option. She supported the literacy of young Spanish-language readers at a time when Spanish and Spanish-speakers were increasingly being demonized in politics. imaginationlibrary.com/bilingual-pr...

Dolly Parton was one of the most inspirational women I had the privilege of looking up to. She held to her beliefs in the purest form and ensured that more than 300 million books made their way to kids that couldn't afford/access them on their own. She was kind & compassionate. A true treasure. 🥺🥹📚

I both love and hate that standalone books are becoming rarer in the literary world. On one hand it encourages people to pick up another book, increases plot complexity, and lengthens the time we get to spend reading! The only real downside is not knowing I have gaps on my shelves till it's too late
