Important Message:

We are sorry to announce that our Bookmobile was in an accident, and it looks as if it will be declared a total loss. Most importantly, the employees involved are safe and unharmed. They’ve been checked on and are being supported. 

In the coming days, we’ll begin assessing next steps for outreach services and vehicle replacement. It’s too soon to know the full timeline, but we will keep you informed as plans develop.

This is a big loss, but it’s one we will recover from together. Please join me in expressing appreciation and care for the Bookmobile team. We are so grateful that everyone is okay.

Event Details

What does it mean to persevere through difficult times? Teens ages 11-18 are invited to join writer and educator Gloria Muhammad to learn about processing your experiences through poetry.

When we're surrounded by challenges, it’s important to check in to our emotions and find a way to redirect them. Using swimming as a metaphor, explore what it means to persevere. What do your "strokes" look like when life is challenging? What does perseverance look like to you? How do you carry on and endure during hard times while maintaining strength and purpose?
