and counting...
We want to include stories, books, and writings that reflect our community.
Everyone needs to see themselves in books.
This LFL is in memory and honor of my son who passed at 15 to Covid-19. He always loved everyone, in every color!
Diversity is vital!
Everyone deserves to see themselves, their friends, their families, their communities, the culture, their words on paper.
Because reading is fundamental to everyone
Reading from a wide variety of authors has broadened my worldview considerably. I think it helps foster understanding and appreciation and can strengthen communities.
Diversity is a strong foundation we can provide to strengthen our communities.
I am a Children’s Librarian who believes every child deserves respect, equal representation and love
