Episode IV: Read Flags and New Lows

Join Your Favorite Librarian this episode to explore how reading is an act of self-care, an example of escapism, self-improvement and a great way to explore personal interests and passions.
Many of us have heard the phrase "strong reader" or other disparaging remarks that effect our confidence to continue reading later in life. Say less, Your Favorite Librarian has a few pointers and colorful insight.
Reading can literally take you anywhere--- redirect your thinking, master specific comprehension and reading skills, or discovery the world around you with a great book. From discovering which genre best reflects your interests and strengths to finding support throughout the page you read... you are not alone. Check out this week's reading suggestions:
"Sula" by Toni Morrison
"Black Girl, Call Home" by Jasmine Mans
"Honeypot" by E. Patrick Johnson
"Black Nerd Problem" by William Evans and Omar Holmon
"It's About Damn Time" by Arlan Hamilton
Continue reading, friend! You are not alone-- there is something for you.
