Open to all people for the pure enjoyment of reading and sharing and loving all as equals.
I’m taking the pledge because the marginalized people should be protected in society.
Diversity and inclusion are important for a happy balanced society. I’m proud to sock my library with LGBTQIA+ books, as well as books the encourage diversity and empathy.
I’m a retired teacher that knows the importance of children being able to see themselves through stories in books. It increases their sense of self.
I am founding a Little Free Library, and want its foundation to be strong and loving.
We are a mixed raced/ethnic couple and support marginalized communities. We love everyone and everyone has the RIGHT to be themselves and thrive with the USA supporting them!
Inclusivity is so important, especially in books. Everyone should be able to read a book with a character like them.
