Happy Pride Month, Lion pride! MA Library is committed to providing “windows, bridges & mirrors” in our collection so students can learn about another’s experience, develop empathy by making connections to their own experience, and see themselves reflected in the books they read.

In celebration of Black History Month I’m reading Jason Reynolds’ remix of Ibram X. Kendi’s book Stamped from the Beginning. It’s an excellent resource to build context around the importance of being actively Antiracist. Come in & check out the book or audiobook today! @LMTSD_MAS
Thrilled to learn from @FritzTesha this evening, thinking about ways to use my power to honor and empower the learner. #AntiracistUDL #MCIULearns
