“It is essential that all people have the opportunity to see themselves represented with dignity and humanity in the books that we share. This promotes the growth of wellbeing, understanding, and acceptance in our world.”

“Everyone deserves to see themselves in the books they read and the stories they love.”

Children & families of all kinds should be able to see themselves in the pages of books.
Our library is committed to providing our patrons with a diverse and inclusive collection of materials!
I volunteer with the Friends of the Library to maintain the LFL in our local park. I want to help bring diversity to my community and various points of view.
Our society is diverse therefore our books should be as well. All people should feel represented and readers should read about others who are not like them in order to increase understanding.
