Albertsons Library

Heroes in every heartbeat! 🩺💓

Thank you to everyone who stopped by Albertsons Library this week to donate blood, and thank you to the American Red Cross team in Boise. Your generosity has the power to transform lives and touch hearts.

📚 Books have a unique power—they can act as mirrors, reflecting our own experiences, or as windows, offering insights into different perspectives. This week, our Mirrors and Windows book discussion, led by Lisa Phillips, vice provost for community engagement and belonging, delved into "The Color of Law," by Richard Rothstein, a profoundly impactful exploration of housing segregation in the US.

🔍 Laurie Cavey, a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics, recommended this eye-opening read, noting its profound effect on her perspective. She says the book “made a huge impact on me and how I thought about housing segregation in the US.”

As we engage with literature that challenges our understanding and broadens our horizons, we continue to foster a culture of empathy, awareness, and growth.

What books have served as mirrors or windows for you lately? Share your recommendations below!
