BIG NEWSSSS!!
I don’t usually talk about actual work life stuff on here, but this is something too big NOT to share.
So, the last several months, my amazing boss and I have been working with the lovely people at @weneeddiversebooks to create a Scholastic Reading Club & WNDB Special Offer Flyer that elevates the voices and characters of traditionally underrepresented communities.
I’m so unbelievably proud that this offer is out and in the world and that teachers and librarians can use it in their classrooms. And I’m proud that our message is being spread. And I’m proud of all the wonderful people who have worked tirelessly to make this happen (shout out to Dhonielle, what uuuup!).
Seriously though, this issue is so close to my heart and I hope teachers and librarians do pass this out to their students and do use it get amazing titles for their classroom libraries!
I mean, look at these pages!
Also! If you are wondering what Scholastic Reading Club is (previously known as Scholastic Book Clubs), here is a handy About page for TEACHERS and here is one for PARENTS.
But baaaasically, SRC is a series of flyers that sell deeply discounted books to students and teachers with the idea that every kid deserves to be able to afford to read. It also has insane rewards for teachers so that they can get free books for their libraries and classroom supplies that they or their district might not be able to afford otherwise.
I’m so proud of my coworkers!!! This is one offer you won’t want to miss.
