From the PTO: Diverse Literature for the Greenwood Library
At a PTO meeting earlier this spring, Greenwood Parents Emily Levine and Leah Cristi proposed using the PTO’s Library Fund towards an existing effort to bolster the Greenwood Library's current book collection with more diverse literature. Their proposal was quickly and enthusiastically approved, and Emily and Leah moved forward with their planning by consulting with Mrs. Buckley, our Greenwood School Library Media Specialist, to create a wishlist that will give our kids access to books that explore a wide range of life experiences, from race and culture, to neurodiversity and mental health, to world religions and family life.
Before they order books, Emily and Leah are seeking input from both Greenwood teachers and families—we’d love to hear from you! Please take a moment to complete our brief survey below before June 11th to guide our ordering.
