Building Libraries
|
One of my most important initiatives - literacy, and fundamental to my personal beliefs, Building Libraries is a priority TXSBOE1. We build home libraries, libraries in community centers, and partner with communities to build libraries in free-standing structures to re-establish them as free community libraries.
Our library partnerships are simple: No residency checks, No documentation required, No return policy. Education is a fundamental human right and literacy is the key to a lifetime of learning, building beautiful community relationships, and transforming realities. Literacy is crucial in the fight to reduce infant mortality rates, achieve gender equality, ensure sustainable community economies, peace and social justice. Literacy enables families to overcome poverty, gain health care access, accomplish goals and build bolder dreams. ~Georgina Cecilia Perez |
