Teacher PINS with Limitless...
Another reason NPL is the library of the year!
Bringing great authors to Nashville. I want to go January 31st to see Matt de la Peña talk about his new book, Love. I loved his award winning “Last Stop on Market Street.” I heard him speak once about coming from his "nothing" Hispanic background to being a Caldecott Medal Winner. De la Peña deals with social issues with boldness and has occasionally been banned from some libraries. In 2016 he was awarded the NCTE Intellectual Freedom Award.
