To recognize our diverse community of students through literature.
It’s so important for kids to see and experience a variety of people.
Knowledge is power!
Our students crave to read books that reflect our diverse community!
We recognize the importance of diversity and representation in reading. This is especially true for our youth. We focus on including a wide range of diversity in our own books and those in our library.
Our community has the largest percentage of people of African decent in the state of AZ. The city is sandwiched between the native American Communities of Ak-Chin and Gila River as well. Our 6 LFL offerings should better reflect the community we support.
It’s essential that kids have access to books that demonstrate diversity and inclusion. Representation matters.
