“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.”

I’m am a firm believer the average child should be able to pick up a book and see there’s similar culture! Because my children are biracial! Hispanic, African-American, Native American!
Our human population is diverse so our books should be too.
Elevating one’s concept of self through the sharing of stories and factual events can make a remarkable difference in the lives of those who have been marginalized. This program is a valuable extension of our “Love Rising” creating caring communities projects!
All are welcome at our library!
