Reading is for everyone! 📚 I loved joining Cub Scout Pack 221 today at Harrison. These Scouts built a Little Free Library and collected books. Read to Succeed has been such a joy this school year, and the work continues to support literacy in our community. #spsreadtosucceed

Research shows that strong connections help engage students who've experienced trauma. Librarians play a vital role by providing safe, supportive spaces. Trauma-informed teaching highlights the power of secure, consistent relationships. #Libraries #TraumaInformed
