I'm definitely taking this one with me!\"\r\n\r\nFor my students, books are an escape to a world outside of the walls in which they are confined. They are a way to educate themselves, to better themselves. They allow them to learn how to deal with trauma and work on building healthier coping skills. Books provide them laughter, motivate them to do better. These books are more than just books.
