Because what makes us different, makes the world amazing!
Everyone should belong in libraries, books, and reading.
We are a bicultural house and we want to celebrate, learn and share the beauty of other cultures. We want to uplift our neighbors and make a better world for everyone.
QUESTION THE MESSAGE. READ THE MARGINS. READ THE VOICES THEY LEFT OUT.
Everyone deserves to read books! Everyone deserves to read! Everyone has a story and it needs to be shared!!! Everyone is included!!!
From the start, I’ve been determined to stock the library with diverse choices and included “banned” books. This is an easy pledge for me.
