When we started our Library we already committed to ourselves to make our Library a diversity library. Making this pledge is what we have already been doing. We feel it is really important to share these voices and provide access to these books.
The rich, complex, and varied lives of people of color are stories that deserve to be told.
Sharing diversity through books can open our hearts and minds to people all over the world.
We believe the world is better when you Read in Color
My students deserve to see themselves when they read a book!
