Ginta Genender, the children's librarian at John Jermain Memorial Library, recently visited the pre-K classroom of Mindy Reyer at Sag Harbor Elementary School. Genender read Bethanie Deeney Murguia’s book “We Disagree,” a picture book about acceptance and friendship. While reading the book, Genender took time to have the students share their own likes and dislikes and decide whether any of their classmates agreed or not. In turn, students had the opportunity to learn more about their classmates. COURTESY SAG HARBOR SCHOOL DISTRICT
