¡Hola, amigos! We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming because we've had some heartwarming moments over the past few weeks and wanted to share them with you in hopes of brightening your day amid any anxieties you may be feeling.

Every other week, we've had the pleasure of hosting groups of children from the Kids Alley after-school program for books, pizza, and play. It's been a blast, and it inspired our fearless leader Tom Martin to share some reflections on inclusivity.

We were thrilled to participate in a fantastic Día de los Muertos celebration at La Ingrata, one of our favorite restaurants in Camden.

During the event, we gave away books in both English and Spanish, installed a new book ark painted by Priscilla Rios and Brein Mortez of the We Live Here Artist Collective, and hosted a reading by María Del Pilar Rodríguez from her new book De los Cuentos a las Cuentas.

We're so grateful to Ernesto & Karla at La Ingrata for having us, to María for giving a wonderful reading, to Priscilla and Brein for painting our ark, and to everyone who stopped by our table.

Thank you for reading and for your support as we go about trying to make our corner of the world a little better! Please take care of yourselves and each other. In times like these, it can feel like there is so much separating us from one another, but try to remember there is more that connects us than divides us. A wise man once said, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. Look for the helpers, and don't lose hope!

Lots of love & well wishes,

The Free Books Project team
