McHenry County College Children's Learning Center Receives New Book

McHenry County College Women’s History Month Committee co-chair Kathrine Pfister presents a children’s book, “Rumpelstilskin’s Wife,” by Diane Stanley, to Taliashia Borders, director of MCC’s Children’s Learning Center. The book donation is an extension of Women’s History Month, which is held during March to raise awareness of women’s issues. The committee’s ongoing efforts beyond the month have included the development of the Women’s Film Collection at the MCC Library. “If you want to know about a culture—about a people—look at the books it gives its children,” said Kate Midday, Women’s History Month co-chair. “When we provide quality, empowered texts to our girls, they are more likely to seek out agency in their own lives. I want that for my daughter, and for all our daughters.”
