For a chance to win more books
It is important to me to provide books that reflect all in my community. I make a point when buying and adding new books that all children in my neighborhood can relate to
Our uniqueness collectively makes us stronger! It needs to be celebrated.
Our book offerings need to reflect the diversity of the people – young and old – who are visiting the Little Free Library. Everyone is welcome to browse and we hope that they will find books written by and featuring people just like them when they do.
Diversity is the most important element of reading. If we have no diversity we learn nothing.
