"I am an avid Libby user for my audiobooks, but I recently discovered the children's section for my daughter — and we are both huge fans! She will pick one for us to listen to while we're making dinner, or we might find the audio version of one of her favorite books to help her follow along, and it's been such a great way to continue to support her early reading education. Plus, it supports our library, it's totally free, and it's really, really fun!" [Check it out]


One reader's recommendation:

"I love all of your newsletters and your articles are incredible! Considering your organization highlights sustainability and ethically sourced products, I wanted to make it known to you that there are a few Indigenous organizations that I would love to see on your newsletter. For one, North American Traditional Food Systems is trying to implement Indigenous Food Lab, a traditional Indigenous kitchen and training center. They are redefining cuisine and community and eliminating food deserts within indigenous communities. Another fav of mine is Red Lake Nation Foods, from the Chippewa Tribe. They have an amazing chokecherry jam. Indigenous communities are the standard for sustainability and need help getting their voice heard. I really hope you find these organizations just as interesting and amazing as I see them." Thanks for these resources, CH!
