Reading is a pathway - to imagination, to growth, to learning. 

While dueling perspectives on parent rights, censorship and violations of 1st amendment rights are dominating conversations today, in this episode we chat with Tracie Hall, the first Black female Executive Director of the American Library Association, to discuss what communities can do to preserve a love and respect for reading and literacy and how we can celebrate books. She also shares with us our own bit of library history in Alexandria, VA.
