Here's what I've been hearing lately:
Librarians are going to save us.
Black women are going to save us.
Young people are going to save us.
Somebody needs to save us.
But if we all do something, no matter how small, we can save each other.
Librarians are going to save us.
Black women are going to save us.
Young people are going to save us.
Somebody needs to save us.
But if we all do something, no matter how small, we can save each other.
