SIUE’s department of Intercollegiate Athletics established this LFL that pops up at home games, matches, and camps. Kids of all ages may browse selections curated with a focus on celebrating difference while fostering community. It was introduced through their “Cultural Literacy for the Win!” campaign, championing diversity, equity, & inclusion.
We are committed to providing to our community books by authors who are Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color, and with central characters who are.
Recognition is Crucial.
Everyone needs to see themselves represented in books. Books shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
