We visited the Hendersonville Public Library to see Greenlight to Freedom on the bookshelf! How did it happen? FSI Fundraising Fellow Eben Appleton asked what she could do for our trip near her area. I reminded her that high school students in the FSI-GHSU had donated Greenlight to Freedom to libraries across the USA. Perhaps she could donate a book to a library in the area? Off she went! She talked with a few librarians and got the book on the shelf of at least one library. Then as part of our trip, we visited the Hendersonville Library. When I first told Songmi about her book being at the library she was not that impressed. She was touched when she saw it on the bookshelf, however. There are many books in the world that have been published, but hers was one of them on the library shelf.
