Stories provide insight. Whether it's a personal narrative, description of cultural heritage, or an imagined fantasy, an individual's story provides insights into who they are and what shapes and inspires them. Shared stories help us see what makes us unique and how we are the same. By reading or listening to an individual's story, we can learn to treat people with the respect and dignity they deserve no matter their race, color, gender, religion, ability, or level of income. Discover different stories, learn about people seeking to eliminate social injustices, and find resources for discussing issues about race. All ages.

Join us for a fun (and short!) preschool storytime on YouTube. Stories, songs, and rhymes help preschoolers practice early literacy skills.

Enjoy great discussion on today’s most compelling books from the comfort of your own home. Please email ebrown@mcpl.info for information on getting a physical copy of the book. Age 21 and up.
