I love books and kids. We have a thriving teen book club at our library. Our library teens recently partnered with interested adults from our community and with the Rural Organizing Project to form a Human Dignity Group to advocate for folks from our community who are typically marginalized or disenfranchised. Nurturing teen compassion and activism through our library... Yes!!!
