We're still here! 😁 Thankful for books, thankful for stories 📚 Video Description: Mychal exclaims, "I'm still alive!" Books, characters, stories kept him here. He's a struggle bus rider (a struggle bus conductor!), but he's survived. He keeps going one day at a time, seeking reasons to stay 💚
You are not alone! Your enough is not embarrassing, your enough is enough, you are enough (one you’ll believe it, hope exists) 💚✨
“3-6-9, it’s okay to not be fine!” - Your library celebrating and rooting for the chapters of you, your story 💚
