Today is International Day for the Eradication of Poverty! What does that mean? Countries all over the world are afflicted by poverty (lack of money and resources to live safely). There are MILLIONS who live on less than $2 a day. You can't even buy a meal with that! The knowledge you gain in The Den everyday can lead to you becoming an answer to the problem. Lions are brilliant, talented, and capable of doing wonderful things! #WhatsBetterThanALion? #MakingTheWorldABetterPlace

Today is NATIONAL VOTER REGISTRATION DAY! Voting is a key part of the American Experience, but it has not always been easy for all Americans to partake of this right. Dr. King even came to Shreveport and spoke on the matter at Galilee Baptist Church in 1958! It's important that we appreciate and USE this right! #WhatsBetterThanALion?

One way we can celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month is by stopping by the library to explore literature and history! Today's Feature: Cuba 15 is a novel about Violet Paz who has just turned fifteen, a pivotal birthday in the eyes of her Cuban grandmother. Fifteen is the age when a girl enters womanhood, traditionally celebrating the occasion with a quinceañero. While Violet is half Cuban, she’s also half Polish, and more importantly, she feels 100% American. Stop by to see how Violet navigates this time in her life! #ReadersAreLeaders #WhatsBetterThanALion? #HispanicHeritageMonth
