📚 Celebrating Black History Month in Our Libraries! 📚
Ms. Michelle Miara, Media Specialist at Woodhaven Upper Elementary, Brownstown Middle School, and Woodhaven High School, is dedicated to fostering a love of reading through a diverse book collection. This month, she’s spotlighting books written by African American authors, celebrating Black culture and history, and featuring Black characters.
“We have worked hard to create a diverse book collection and promote Black History Month across all three libraries. Students are engaging with these books, sometimes choosing stories they may not have traditionally picked, which is a great step toward expanding perspectives and understanding,” said Ms. Miara.
📸 Look for the “Celebrate Black History Month” image in the school slideshow at WUE, BMS, and WHS! #BlackHistoryMonth #WBSDReads #DiversityInLiterature
