Yet another reason not to cut library funding… Students are reading and remixing books like Toni Morrison’s A Mercy on their own time with students across the city to foster learning, teamwork,  and media production. Seems like a crime to cut back on these types of opportunities. #theSOULmovement

I love my libraries
Please do not neglect my libraries.  Though the schools have been slaughtered (FUND CPS!) , but learning hasn’t stopped.  The library is my school as it sparks curiosity and provides fuel to keep it burning as I continue learning.  The library is a haven of knowledge so sacred to this city and deserving of  support.  Please do not neglect my libraries.
