Little Free Libraries of Westminster
In 2019, I received the Charles Boehlke, Jr. Engaged Faculty Fellows Award from McDaniel College. The award provided funding for community engagement projects. I decided to use the award to establish and maintain a network of little free libraries in and around Westminster. I signed the Read in Color pledge and purchased books that celebrate diversity and inclusive perspectives. In addition, my graphic design students at McDaniel create books to share in these libraries.
