Diversity, in all forms, is what makes an interesting and happy life.
Reading is something everyone can do — young or old.
We support and Steward 5 LFL’S at various locations for children as well as adults. As retired teachers we still believe in leading by example. We also are committed to giving back and feel this is a way of dong so.
I believe everyone should have access to diverse books especially children.
We live in a very diverse society and that should be reflected in our reading choices.
My Little Free Library is a gift to my neighborhood. It’s important to me to have a variety of books for all ages, genders and ethnicity. That is how learn and connect. May we all embrace each other.
Because when I was a kid I pictured myself while reading, and I think every child deserves to see themselves fight pirates and climb trees and feel like they are able to be the explorers, princesses, action fighter they read in their books. Whatever skin color!
Everyone should have the opportunity to read a book of which they are represented.
