I like to understand where a variety of people are coming from. I want to be an ally. And everyone should get to see themselves in books.
Representation in literature MATTERS – and it starts with making diverse materials available!
Diversity, equity and inclusion are important to me and my family and our personal library consists of diverse books and authors. We want our little free library to reflect the same!
I want to open up the world for myself and for everyone
I love to read areas that I have not had the opportunity to do so.
I am a teacher in a very diverse school and neighborhood. No one here has easy access to diverse books. It’s heartbreaking. I gave hundreds away.
Everyone should see themselves in books!
