for Charles Carroll Barrister Elementary School in Pigtown. We are excited to be putting many more books in their library. These are great students who love stories and are wonderful listeners during storytime. If you have books you'd like to donate, please take them to Meadowbrook in Mt. Washington or drop them by the Peace Study Center at 5828 York Road.

Our mission is to build a more peaceful world, one book at a time. By sharing quality literature with children, we will inspire them to resolve differences without violence and learn to appreciate diversity through educational experiences. By teaching adult caregivers to build the concepts of peace and social justice into their curriculum, we will empower them to create a more harmonious classroom.
Nuestra misión es construir un mundo más pacífico, un libro a la vez. Por compartir literatura de calidad con los niños, inspiraremos a ellos para resolver diferencias sin violencia y, por experiencias educativas, para aprender a agradecer la diversidad. Por enseñar cuidadores adultos a establecer los conceptos de paz y justicia social en su programa de estudios, habilitaremos a ellos para crear una aula más armoniosa.
