Everyone, young and old deserves to find books with characters that look like them or think like them. Stories should be about everyone and include everyone. I want my library to be part of the big diverse tapestry of humankind. I want you to find you there.
All communities need to have access to books by a wide range of authors.
When kids see books that represent diversity, the world becomes a better place!!!
We truly believe in a world where everyone is loved and welcomed. We want our library to represent that.
We all deserve to see ourselves and our stories represented in books.
Carli’s Library serves a diverse community. I struggle to keep books in stock, especially books with different skin tones.
So the children at Club see themselves in the books they read.
