Because we need books with diverse characters.
We are already committed to bringing diverse voices to our LFL and are so excited to join Read in Color!
Our city has a very diverse population – so having diversity for our library is a no-brainer! 😃
Diverse books open windows to other worlds!
We are a bi-racial LGBTQIA + family. Representation matters. There are still racists & homophobes about. Love reading & many apartments near our home, we can reach lots of people.
Everyone should have access to and read diverse books.
