I want the diversity of our neighborhood to be reflected in the books in our Little Free Library so everyone is included!
To support reading more diverse books
Creating a more tolerant, knowledgeable, and compassionate world through increased awareness, conversation, and literacy.
I’m putting up a neighborhood free library with diverse books. Reason: learning from others is exciting, interesting, and makes us better humans.
Diversity is a gift. How boring it would be if we were all the same! I commit to be part of the change I want to see in the world , to share the gift of diversity books with children/adults alike. It’s a gift that will sow great rewards!
I am a woman of color who grew up having a difficult time finding books that had people who looked like me represented. I want all people to feel seen when they go to a little free library.
