A Dream Called Home by Reyna Grande
"Grande tells her story of navigating a world of dual identity with stark honesty. An undocumented immigrant with no parental support, Reyna never gives up on her dream of becoming a writer and learns how to turn her pain into art.  With the help of her mentors, Reyna says she learned to 'write myself into a place where I finally belonged.'" --Barbara, Meadows Branch
Library Stories
During a library tour, two 10- and 11-year-olds saw the teen space and were immediately excited when Leanne told them about our Saturday tween time for 4th and 5th graders. One boy said “I’m in fourth grade so that means I can come!” and the girl looked around the space again and said, “I. Am. Amazed.” - Celine, Programs, Events and Outreach Specialist
A tiny little girl was asked what she wished for at the Main Library water fountain, she said "An alligator!"
“We can always get more books; that’s the beautiful thing about the library.” - Caregiver talking to children
Many of our events are generously funded by the 
Boulder Library Foundation.
