Today (9th June) is Empathy Day 2020!
Empathy Lab has a day of live events to promote empathy through reading. We all read for many different reasons but today try to find the time to read to understand and listen to others.
Live events are here and you can follow along with #ReadforEmpathy and #EmpathyDay on Twitter.

I was going to make my own post in response to the current events in the USA but I couldn’t do better than this from Ms Barrie, my colleague at Chryston HS,
When terrible things are going on in the world and I don't know what to do, I read. I read for understanding, I read for knowledge and I read to improve my empathy. Here is a list of books that could help. (Orginial picture had a spelling mistake.) #chrystonhighreads pic.twitter.com/8kjlsPRV5F

Some great suggestions here in light of the current events in the USA (but always worth reading at any time). The library has a developing collection of BAME books and always welcomes suggestions from staff and students.
Feeling pretty hopeless about everything being shown out of the U.S.
I've put together a list of 21 books that students enjoy in the #Library and are important voices.

Another free comic to read online! We have two of the Corpse talk graphic novels in the Library and they’re very good.

A free digital version of the Freedom Bound graphic novel from BHP Comics. It follows the interconnected stories of three enslaved people living in Scotland before Scots Law proved slavery illegal and is well worth a read.

I have gathered the resources to support reading at home into one handy presentation. Most of the information has already been shared here but this may save you some time from using the search tags to find things.
