Students had fun painting 'weeded books'

Printed Word Book Club helping with Habitat build

The Printed Word Book Club recently helped out with a Habitat for Humanity build here in Murfreesboro.

The pictures above show "weeded books" and ornaments students painted to reflect the winter break in the Library Media Center.

I just finished reading "The hate u give" by Angela Thomas, and feel that everyone should read it. Racism and police brutality have become hot topics that are heavily debated, and that is the focus of the book. Thomas tells the story from the perspective of a young black girl that witnesses her childhood friend shot by a policeman. The writer's style puts you there with graphic details, and helps you to understand what it is like to be black and living in a poor neighborhood.
