Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

Just finished this book today. 😭 What a beautifully written, heartbreaking tale of refugees. This is one of those books that will stick with me for awhile. I highly recommend it! Refugee https://t.co/sNTwB2Q5Rd #Amazon
