Students gather in small groups, or annotate with colorful pens, or simply allow themselves to be absorbed by a good story. We've got sticky notes on desks, quotes on the walls, and a buzz of excitement when someone finds a \"mic drop\" moment in the text. Reading here is active, collaborative, and joyful.\r\nYour support has made reading feel relevant, exciting, and empowering.
