I think is a wonderful way to celebrate diversity.
I agree with everything the Pledge states- diversity and learning more about others makes us all better
As Little Free Library Stewards, I believe we have a responsibility to not only share books that will appeal to a variety of readers, but will also expand their cultural, social, and environmental horizons. There is much we can learn from one another by reading.
Everyone deserves to see themselves in all roles and in books.
As a retired teacher, I have always found it important to share diverse life experiences through those characters portrayed in literature. Sometimes, through reading, that is the only way one learns about others. Reading opens the mind to understanding and acceptance.
