As I think about your reflections and the work that you're doing, you're reminding us all of the importance of libraries at a time when so many are in need of life lines for survival. In contrast, I can see through this example of Uvalde how they can and be not only front and center, but also part of any school's redesign perhaps through library-school partnerships where the public world of the library becomes a safe and imaginative haven for all children, especially those enduring serious trauma as we are witnessing in Uvalde.
