School Librarian Atena Pelley leads the program. According to a media press release:
“Last year s ‘One School, One Book’ events were so well received that I m super excited to be able to have them again this year,” Pelly says. “I think shared experiences are important for bonding and growing as families, a school, and a community. I m glad that we can facilitate this and am sure many of us this year will be able to sympathize with Ivan and his feelings of loneliness and isolation.”
