8336 pledges
and counting...
I have a friend who donates books to my little library here in Van Nuys. They are for all age groups and are written by BIPOC authors. These books fly out of the my library, as they are so popular, obviously fulfilling a need!
To raise the next generation better the it’s last.
Because I care
I am taking on this pledge as a Bay Area teacher and anti-racist. I hope to bring more color to my libraries and the libraries all people interact with.
I’m taking this pledge because I live in a diverse community and the books I offer in my LFL try to reflect that; something for everyone!
