The Community Reads Series is an initiative aimed at connecting folks in the community, sharing stories between people of different generations, and creating opportunities for deeper connection and understanding. It is a children’s reading time, not simply where stories are read from pages, but where the reader gets to share their own story as well- what roles they may serve, what community means to them, and what they’ve learned about what supports a vibrant, loving community of people. About this Week's Book: All Are Welcome is a warm, welcoming picture book that celebrates diversity and gives encouragement and support to all kids. Follow a group of children through a day in their school, where everyone is welcomed with open arms. A school where kids in patkas, hijabs, and yamulkes play side-by-side with friends in baseball caps. A school where students grow and learn from each other's traditions and the whole community gathers to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
