11/06/2026Empathy Day Festival 2026 - Read for Empathy
We’re proud to be celebrating the Empathy Day Festival in our library this week!
Did you know that reading can build empathy? When we jump into a character’s story, we see the world through new perspectives, understand different experiences, and grow kinder, and more connected as a result.
This year’s #ReadForEmpathy Collection is packed with powerful, thought-provoking books —exploring identity, relationships, resilience, and understanding others.
Great news: We have many of these titles available in the library right now!
