It’s wonderful to see a commitment to not only share the stories of, and books written by, individuals in underrepresented groups, but to also make them accessible to many. Look forward to seeing this program grow.
Literacy is one of the most important areas to focus on as a community to foster unity with our neighbors of all colors and ethnic backgrounds.
Diversity is everywhere and we must learn to appreciate it, and provide opportunities for others to accept and learn from it.
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.
