Exposing our readers to the rich & diverse cultures only bring us closer together. We are made up of the people we meet, the places we go AND the books we read! Let’s READ in Color!
I believe we all deserve to read stories that are diverse and tell us more about the people in the world around us.
Books should be a mirror and a window for readers. My library, packed with children’s books, will focus on this.
Our bookstore has been dedicated to the same purpose that this pledge stands for. We love that this pledge exists!
