Introduction
Dear PEPP Students:
Issues related to race and equality, especially in schools, are some of the most important issues facing America and Berks County today. The Penn State Libraries' resources can help us write academic papers on these challenges, and library resources can help us find practical solutions to these problems here in Berks county and beyond. I hope the databases listed throughout this site will inform and support your service work.
Please email or drop by my office in Thun Library anytime you need help with your research!
All the Best,
Brett Spencer
