Children need to enjoy books showcasing people that look like them.
We currently have a Little Free Library, but the addition of a Read in Color Library would be a special place where individuals and their families can experience something positive and feel included. We will ensure that the books will be of substance, culture and history, and well-being.
We believe EVERYONE is equal & should feel represented, empowered & loved.
We love to celebrate inclusiveness.
To get more diverse books into the hands of my community!
Growing up, I was raised with a limited view of the world. My experiences have broadened my view, but more can be done. I’m committed to placing more books from a wide variety of viewpoints in our library. Come visit!
