8176 pledges
and counting...
I’m taking this pledge as a POC because growing up there was very little characters I could resonate with or even see myself reflected in. I make it a personal mission always to diversify my personal reading and I will do the same once I have my LFL up.
Inclusivity is crucial to make our world go round!
Representation is not only important in our world ~ it’s vital!
Our 17 Little Free Libraries are stocked with new diverse books for youth around Houston, mostly in neighborhoods that are book deserts. Our books show people from various cultures including other languages and LGBTQ+ books.
all people should have access to books!!
To be encourage others to read more and to give others the books to learn about people in all walks of life.
