If a white woman was walking toward him, he should lower his head and never look her in the eye. For instance: He shouldn’t speak to white people unless spoken to.

Frayed silk ella fields5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() He’s been pretty busy with work and …” Ugh, you know what? I shouldn’t have to keep defending him. I avert my eyes to my cream-colored ballet flats. “Everything okay? Lola hasn’t said much, just that things aren’t going great … you know, at home.” He looks a little embarrassed about asking, but he’s Leo’s friend, has been since he and Lola got together in our last year of college. ![]() “I tried to call Leo last week, but he didn’t get back to me.” He shifts in his work boots, his hands moving into his cargo pockets. I smile at him, and he gives me a small one in return. Charlie stands behind her, waiting with a bored look on his face for her to walk with him inside. He walks over to me, waving to Sophie over his shoulder, who’s throwing her arms in the air and grinning at him from the other side of the school gates. “Hey.” I snap out of my daze and offer him a small smile. ![]() “Hey, Lia,” Trey, Lola’s husband, says as he’s walking back to his car after school drop-off. He then stayed in his office again all day on Sunday. Leo disappeared somewhere for most of the day and didn’t come home until sometime late that night. I had to take the kids to swimming on Saturday. My eyes stare unseeingly at the tall, imposing brick structure of Bonnets Bay prep as I try to escape the confines of my tangled thoughts that are knotting and fraying together in my mind. ![]()

What There Is by Kate McMurray5/31/2023 ![]() With every tour, there is also the option to get your class or group library cards – this must be arranged beforehand, so that the cards can be given out on the tour. Afterwards, the tour moves into the library space, showcasing everything that the library has to offer, before giving kids some time to look around on their own. Tours for older kids and teens include an in-depth look at our online resources like our homework help database, a look at how to use our website and catalogue, and how to use our digital resources to borrow e-books and audiobooks. ![]() Following this, kids are toured through the Children’s department, and then given time to browse the space and look for books on their own. ![]() ![]() For preschool to grade 4 aged tours, the classroom component of GPPL’s tours involves reading stories, singing songs, and going over what you can borrow from the library. ![]() |
