Calling all patrons! Important question: what would you like to see more of in our collection? Comment if you don't think we have enough of what you love--graphic novels, business how-to's, nonfiction YA or books about cats? Whatever it is you're looking for, we want to know! 😊

As we recognize #BlackWomensEqualPayDay, let's not forget that Black disabled women & femmes experience a wider pay gap AND can be paid subminimum wage. The conversations about equal pay must include the disabled experience or will fall short every time it doesn't.

Today, we welcomed the @LEAPforkids Summer Program of New Haven to #ElmCityMarket! The program provides fun, developmental activities to children ages 7 to 12, and we were here to help promote and encourage healthy eating habits amongst the youth. Can you tell we had so much fun?

Our @LEAPforkids friends are back with a new group, today! We gave everyone a tour of the market and shared the importance of nutrients and how different foods can make them feel. Here they are, making healthy choices and getting ready to take on the world! #ElmCityMarket

I've had the honor of working for @LEAPforkids (a New Haven non-profit) all year, and tmw -- I'll be taking over their @Twitter account for #TheGreatGive. The hope is to raise $15,000 to help send low-income students of color on a journey towards college. xitter.cf/LEAPforkids/status/991… – at New Haven, CT
