“It is essential that all people have the opportunity to see themselves represented with dignity and humanity in the books that we share. This promotes the growth of wellbeing, understanding, and acceptance in our world.”

To further inclusion and diversity in literature and in my Little Free Library/
Diversity is important. The rainbow has many colors for us to enjoy.
I think it’s important to support BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) owned businesses, and I love reading, what better way to pick out a book than to head to Loyalty Book Store which is in my neighborhood and get a book.
Everyone deserves the right to read diverse books! It keeps us humble and learn about different things and people.
I believe it shows my commitment to Read in Color and share diverse books with my class.
My library is in a neighborhood with many children. From the beginning I put books that had non White characters. The books do not come back so more books are needed.
