Libraries provide access to diverse books that provide windows, mirrors and sliding glass doors for our teens, better preparing them for the world beyond school. That's another reason we love libraries!

[TXFReadomFighters @FReadomFighters]

We love librarians because they spread their love of literature to our kids!
