In May 2019, we had the honor of traveling to San Juan, Puerto Rico to visit Escuela Inés María Mendoza, a “receptor” school that took in additional students whose local schools were destroyed by Hurricane Maria. We hosted an interactive story time for pre-K through first grade students and delivered books we had collected for the school library.
In the true sense of what it means to be community-minded bookstores, two of our long-time retailers in Washington, DC – East City Bookshop and Loyalty Bookstore – eagerly took the opportunity to set up book donations drives at their stores to benefit Inés María Mendoza. With our suitcases of donated books in tow (and more in the mail), we had the pleasure of meeting the superstar librarian at Inés María Mendoza, Ms. Celimar Hernández. A seasoned and dedicated educator with a deep love of books (her T-shirt says it all), we thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the school from Ms. Hernández as we unpacked the books and toured her library.
