It is important to read through the lenses of the othered.
It aligns with my values and that of the organizations where I volunteer.
As someone from a diverse community & blended family, I see firsthand the importance of uplifting diverse voices. I want to help make sure my community sees themselves reflected in my library.
I will use the resources available to me to expand my worldview and share knowledge and resources generously with my community and beyond.
