Courage, Community and Democracy—Books for Young People
During March, display cases at the Brookline Village Library will feature books for young people with themes of courage, community, and democracy. Good books are wonderful for introducing readers to people who spoke out for strong communities, to advocates who worked hard on behalf of our government’s founding values, and to people who made their way in unknown territories for a better life for themselves and others. Brookline resident Rusty True Browder (founder of The Children’s Book Shop in Brookline Village and retired Lawrence School librarian) collects and writes about books with themes of a strong democracy and key events in American history, sharing some of them in this display.
