We are committed to remaining inclusive and diverse in all that we do!
Because everyone deserves to see themselves in books.
We have a diverse little library that we keep stocked with books by diverse authors (BIPOC, LGBTQI+, differently abled, etc.)
Taking the pledge because diverse books reflect my students. I want my students to see themselves in the books that we read.
To help myself grow in my own diversity
Since I was a teacher, I have wanted to now instill reading on an adult level.
Everyone should be able to “see” themselves in the books we read.
Valuing Diversity is the key to a Peaceful Planet.
Because literacy is an essential right for all and everyone should have role models in their stories to look up to.
