Local Author Luis D. Aponte: A Safe Place

Local author and FCPL librarian Luis D. Aponte invites parents to a powerful conversation about his book A Safe Place: How to Prevent the Next School Shooting. He shares practical, nonpartisan and research‑based steps families and schools can take to strengthen safety and emotional well‑being.

Drawing from seven years of research into patterns within 1,204 U.S. school shooting incidents, A Safe Place offers hope and fact‑based solutions that unite parents, educators, and communities to create supportive environments where every child feels protected and able to thrive.
