I believe in equity for all.
We represent groups of color and aim to help spread literacy all over the world, so it would be nice to read in color.
We need to understand others point of view
diversity is where it’s at, folks!
We support literacy and all people .
Everyone should have a chance to see themselves in stories AND read about the many other people on this planet who are different from themselves.
We live in a non-diverse community surrounded by a very diverse larger area. My little library focuses on children’s books and I believe that early exposure and education to diversity breeds understanding, love, and peace.
