New York Public Library giving out 500,000 free books this summer

[Guno צְבִי]

The giveaway started earlier this month, and kids, teens and their families can stop by any of the NYPL’s 92 locations to pick up a free book to take home.

The NYPL is also offering a number of in-library workshops and pop-up events as part its “Summer at the Library” program.

The goal of the book giveaway is to help spark a lifelong love of reading and learning, library officials said, and to help fight against “summer slide” when students forget some of what they have learned in school during the months of vacation.

Ya these are not the most popular books, these are librarian approved books, which means WOKE.

These WOKE proselytizers are certainly bold. Their "ten best books" 2021 for kids at the link:

Notice how underrepresented men are, especially white men (not a single white man)

Poor dumb Reichwingers. They even get distressed over free books.

How awful, teaching children tolerance, love and acceptance. I can see why you are horrified, those aren’t principles you embrace and most likely fear.
