Congratulations to the US Olympics women gymnastic team... 2024 gold medal winners. Wait. But is this Diversity, Equity & Inclusion? We'll soon hear that it is. Just saying.

Books can change and transform lives. Banned Books Week (9/ 22-28)) sheds light on the campaign across the country to ban books from schools, libraries and even challenging them in bookstores. Young Readers love books like those written by acclaimed author Rita Williams-Garcia.
