<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thank you Bryce! Many LGBT+, Muslim, and Latino families are especially struggling with the shooting in Orlando and are concerned about their safety. A simple way you might consider showing that LGBT+, Muslim,
and Latino children and families are welcome in your library is to create a display or do a storytime using LGBT+, Muslim, and Latino themed books. You might also find out about organizations in your community that provide resources and support to these populations
in particular or to all types of families and get brochures to make available to your patrons.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wrote a version of this email to the YS staff at my cooperative and it seemed to be much-needed. I hope it is also a comfort or commiseration to you around the state:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know I’m not alone in being heart-sick by the massacre at Pulse in Orlando. Florida was my home for the first 6 years of what I call my “actual adult life”, and I have friends and family there affected by this tragedy. To say that this
week has been difficult is an understatement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to share with you a comforting Twitter thread written by my professional hero Melissa Depper. I needed it, and you might too:
<a href="https://twitter.com/MelissaZD/status/742370202302566401">https://twitter.com/MelissaZD/status/742370202302566401</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The welcoming and consistent atmosphere you all create for children and families in your libraries is dearly appreciated by your communities and certainly by me. You matter so much to our state.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please feel free to email me,<o:p></o:p></p>
