Appreciate the love, CPL! 🙏🏽 Being able to blend my love for hip-hop with my work as a librarian has been such a rewarding journey. Big thanks to everyone who’s supported me along the way, and to my CPL family for allowing me to bring that energy into the space. Let’s keep pushing stories forward, from the stage to the page.
