I am a Children’s Librarian and try to read diverse books at every storytime.
We appreciate how the diversity of our society contributes to the growth of all. We need all points of view!
Its important to provide diverse books to our community. In this way we can increase understanding, empathy, and inclusion.
I believe in reading for children of color.
Stories shape our worldview. Reading stories by BIPOC authors, challenges and expands my understanding of my experiences and the world and my place in it. It makes me a better human.
