Because I’m white and I know I have a lot to learn, and because there’s so much good reading out there!
Because seeing theirselves in the stories they read is important to everyone.
I am a Media Center Assistant for two elementary schools, and one of the most important things to me is that everyone should be able to read and have access to books that reflect their lives and the world around them.
I think it is very important that every person has the opportunity to have access to read and get books even when they can not get to a library, Free Little Library’s all over help to get the books out to where they are needed
Everyone deserves to see themselves in books…mirrors, doors, and windows ✌💜📚
The children of color in my neighborhood don’t have easy access to books that reflect their own lives.
Our community is diverse and our libraries reflect that.
