READ LIKE WEMBY!!!

Victor Wembanyama has launched a new initiative to encourage folks to read more books. The "Read Like Wemby" campaign is a partnership with libraries in San Antonio, highlighting some of his favorite books 📚‼️

Since this has started, local libraries have seen an increase in books that have been checked out and put on hold 👏
