Hey Reader,
Lately, the shelves at our local food pantry have been pretty bare. Many school groups and organizations are hosting food drives to help fill the shelves to meet the growing demand in our community of those who struggle to keep their own pantries full.
While we can do things like take our youngsters shopping for food donations to help them connect with acts of sharing our abundance, books are always a great way to step into someone else's shoes and better understand why it's so important to help ensure our neighbors have enough to eat.
You may have seen our growing picture book list that supports the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goal #2: No Hunger. We are adding books regularly, and we also just recently included an educational workbook you can use with students in elementary and middle school to discuss the topic of hunger and how we can help reduce the plight of hunger in our communities.
We'd love for you to check it out and let us know what you think!

Hey Reader, As you can guess from the lists of picture books we rounded up related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we're big fans of books around here. A few months ago, Jen started paying her kids to read (for reasons beyond bribing them to stick their noses in books). It's not for everyone, but it's worked out pretty well for her and her boys, who are 10 and 12. It's also apparently a pretty hot topic with a lot of opinions. We'd love to know if you'd pay your kids to read. Check...
Hey Reader, With objectives so broad and encompassing so many facets of life, it's no surprise that pursuits related to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals sometimes intersect in complicated ways. And in the United States, we're seeing that right now in a high-profile labor strike by autoworkers who work for car manufacturers. Among several points of contention, auto workers are concerned that a transition from traditional internal combustion engine cars to electric vehicles...
Hey Reader, We're working on updating all of our book lists with more picture books to share with your young learners. While we've been on the topic of clean energy, we recently updated our book list for that Sustainable Development Goal. Go check it out if you haven't seen it yet. We also updated the printable list that includes a sheet you can bring to the library to grab a few of the books on the list (without having to dig through your phone or computer for the titles).
