Just a Book in the Library

Book Cover & Preview Text
Chapter 1 Sanctuary Within the sanctuary of a library, there is “Just a Book.” It is just the book by the act of borrowing it engages the reader into a quantum experience –a quantum experience of synchronicity guards all thought into consciousness. It is the place words come to life and the imagination is transformed into picture messages of voice and warnings, emotion and feelings. It is the place that freedom of thought and truth survives the apocalypse of a democracy.

About the Book
#The Power of a Shared story “We must tell our stories.” —Dr. Donna Clovis, #NABJ19 Outstanding Book Award Winner “Just a Book in the Library is more than ‘just a book’ on a shelf. It captures the essence of how readers long to connect and share ideas related to the power of text.” —Dr. Kenneth Kunz, Assistant Professor of Literacy/Language Arts, Monmouth University “Equality for all- as we start providing marginalized populations their current needs today for tomorrow’s expectations.” —Dr. Josue Falaise, Director, Rutgers University Institute for Improving Student Achievement
