As we kick off our system-wide theme for 2026, Year of the Book, with January's topics centered around our Freedom to Read, celebrating 250 years of American history, and the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. From the founding of our nation to the civil rights movement and beyond, books have captured the struggles, triumphs, and dreams that shape our country. Explore stories that honor justice, equality, and liberty—books that inspire reflection, spark conversation, and remind us that reading is a powerful way to connect with history, celebrate our freedoms, and imagine a better future for all.
