Latino Children Benefit From Uvalde’s Public Library

Over the past five years, Harriett and I have been donating books to Uvalde’s El Progreso Memorial Library. Both of us have been educators for over fifty years, and we donated a minimum of a box of books for every year of teaching service. Although most of our books focused on history, sociology, and art, our fields of research and interest, we also had children’s books saved from past reading to our two children. In our visits to the Progreso Library, we noticed that the children’s section was the most active part of the library. Yet, the holdings in children’s books did not always meet the needs of the children interested in reading about subjects such as science, art, space and oceanic exploration, and Latino/a heroes.
