“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.”

Franklin Little Free Library is located outside of a school full of diverse students. Our library intends to offer books that students see themselves in. See it, dream it, be it!
As a black woman, I have always cherished the books that sound and look like me. I want to promote this idea in my community.
I’m taking this pledge because inclusion, diverse voices, and authentic representation matter. Also, I wish to continue to develop and expand my knowledge and appreciation of/for the diverse experiences of all of humanity. It makes my mind and imagination richer.
Diverse reading matters!
We have a diverse neighborhood, and these diverse books will serve our readers as well as teach us all something new.
