We also have a lot of good diversity books in our library. Some that I am reading at the moment to broaden my learning are various graphic novels. I read Cece Bell’s “El Deafo†children’s book, about a little girl starting school with a giant hearing aid strapped to her chest. A graphic novel for teenagers that I read is “Almost American Girl” by Robin Na. This book is awesome! Graphic novels are a great way to get young people to read and appreciate illustrations.
Please stop and check out the “Coming to the Plains†exhibit in our art alcove brought to us by the University of Nebraska at Kearney, the Nebraska Arts Council and Humanities Nebraska. This traveling exhibit explores the experiences of 20 Latinx immigrants to central Nebraska through oral histories.
