This November, Dave Eggers is coming to Muskegon for a FREE Author Talk!
Who is Dave Eggers? Besides an author, illustrator, and journalist, he is also the founder and co-founder of several non-profits that encourage, uplift, and spread voices and stories.

👀 September is Color Blindness Awareness Month

People with standard color vision can see up to 1 MILLION distinct shades of color, 🌈 but 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women with colorblindness may only see 10% of that.

Test your eyes with the colorblindness test from Enchroma here https://enchroma.com/pages/color-blindness-test and if your results suggest you might be color blind, visit MADL.org/LibraryofThings and check out our Enchroma Color Blind Glasses!
