Accept the Challenge
|
All three D207 libraries are participating in the Read Woke Challenge. Created by Cicely Lewis, School Library Journal’s 2020 School Librarian of the Year, the Read Woke Challenge provides participants an opportunity to experience the “windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors” books can offer.

What is Read Woke?
We invite all D207 students, faculty, and staff to accept the Read Woke Challenge and read with us this year. A Woke Book must be one that:
* Challenges a social norm * Gives voice to the voiceless * Provides information about a disenfranchised group * Seeks to challenge the status quo * Features a protagonist from an underrepresented or oppressed group |
