Just as we are now dealing with change in our daily lives, we have known another day that changed our lives in a very different way. Many of our students were not even alive on that fateful day, but it, in fact, was a day that changed our perspective. The change was not over time, such as what we are dealing with today in the Covid-19 virus, but change on 9/11 was instantaneous. People just like us were going about their day like any other day when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania (on route to another target). As librarians we strive to share information that will help our students understand the world they live in through stories, pictures, and other forms of media. We want to honor those who lost their lives by sharing their stories and some fictional accounts to help readers understand how that change made the world we live in today a very different place. We will never forget.
