Hi, Melinda French Gates. 21 Carrboro High School students are coming to NYC for the opening week of UNGA. They are terrific--curious about data, passionate about refugees and interested in so many global issues. We're reading your book and would love 20 minutes of your time. Any chance? Thanks!

We love celebrating + uplifting the contributions of the Latinx community all year long, but #HispanicHeritageMonth is always a special time. We have so many wonderful #ownvoices stories, authors and experiences to share through the pages of a book in our Northside Elementary library.

We’re ready to meet our Carrboro High School families tonight! Stop by the media center and meet our librarian, Mrs. Jayeola!
