Read Woke

Where
Beanstack

Discover diverse books, log activities, and READ WOKE.

Read Woke is a movement. It is a feeling. It is a style. It is a form of education. It is a call to action; it is our right as lifelong learners. It means arming yourself with knowledge in order to better protect your rights. Knowledge is power and no one can take it away. It means learning about others so that you can treat people with the respect and dignity that they deserve no matter their religion, race, creed, or color.

If our summer readers keep up their hard work, there may even be free ice cream for concert attendees! #LoveLocalDeFo
