Our Erik's Hope Dog of the Week

Our Erik's Hope Dog of the Week is "Sparky" submitted by her pet parent Katherine, though the name Sparky can be misleading given her quiet and shy disposition. Katherine is thankful for Sparky's unconditional love and she hopes that Sparky knows how much she is truly loved."

Erik's Hope: The Leash that Led Me to Freedom is a fictional account based on the true story of Andrea Chilcote's transformational journey, assisted by her beloved dog, Erik. The book chronicles Andrea's shift from a high-potential professional with little regard for matters of the heart to a passionate and caring advocate for personal change, growth and healing.

Erik's Hope is a primer for navigating the emotional tides of life, disguised as a page-turning story. Readers relate to its everyday themes and take away meaningful insights for their own lives

Book Cover of the Week - A Mad Desire to Dance

Our Thursday Book Cover of the Week is "A Mad Desire to Dance" by Elie Wiesel.

Our Library of the Week is the Peckham Library located in London. The library that defines Peckham Square, was designed by William Alsop and Jan Stormer. The library is built in a standing "L" shape, creating a covered urban space. There is a functional-playfulness in the way that this library was designed. A very unique feature about the library are the three wood-clad pods that house the children's library, Afro-Caribbean literature center, and a meeting space.
