Donation protected
Sean was only 22 when his life was cut short by the Vallejo Police on June 2nd, 2020. He loved reading, especially about being Latino, but he wasn't a narrow reader! The last class he took was with his sister at CCSF titled- Latinas in the U.S./Voces. He loved learning. His sisters and I (his neighbor and school librarian) know this is what he would've wanted; a place where the youth can "knowledge up" in the form of two Little Free Libraries, filled with bilingual books about social justice, stories that empower and fantastic non-fiction with important factual information.
