I love diversity and want to help my community have diverse resources to fit my neighbors.
I believe reading and travel are two of the best ways to promote more love, tolerance and diversity in the world and I do both.
I love that kids love to read.
Because diversity is important and everyone should have access to books that show the world in color and kids deserve to see themselves represented in books and media.
Everyone should have easy access to books that represent themselves and help to reinforce a positive identity
Our little library should match our neighborhood- diverse and kind!
I’m a California Indian descendant and contribute to the LFL Native initiative – we need more books for kids that accurately share a worldview from marginalized people
Every child deserves the respect for hey are and that includes reading materials that show our global diversity as well as our physical diversity.
We all benefit from learning about how the beautiful diversity of humanity experiences the world! My kids have Irish and East Indian roots and enjoy seeing people like them represented in books. We want to help everyone see themselves represented in our diverse community.
