“They need that message to let them know we are all beautiful- we are all created differently, but we’re all beautiful.'
AUGUSTA, Ga. - The Richmond County Public Library System is halfway through its summer reading program.On Tuesday, Jacinta Walton’s family members listened to the words “A creation to which none can compare, I am so glad it is mine, I love my hair” from the book “My Hair” by Hannah Lee.“They need that message to let them know we are all beautiful- we are all created differently, but we’re all beautiful,” said Walton.
Diondra Blocker, the public relations assistant for the library, said it goes along with their theme of highlighting kindness, unity, diversity, and inclusion. “We’re just really trying to highlight the different hair textures and bring appreciation to it,” said Blocker.“Hair is a big part of a person’s identity and when you learn about hair and how to care for it properly it really helps to boost your confidence,” said Blocker.
The library offers other programs like an ecology lesson on the different creatures in the area, how to care for pets in the summer and others as part of their summer reading program. If you’re interested in learning more about the programs they offer you can visit the library’s website.
