“It is essential that all people have the opportunity to see themselves represented with dignity and humanity in the books that we share. This promotes the growth of wellbeing, understanding, and acceptance in our world.”

“Everyone deserves to see themselves in the books they read and the stories they love.”

9174 pledges
and counting...
I live in a multi ethnic community and I want to give everyone the chance to read.
I believe that a diverse collection of books in a Little Free Library helps to expand the minds of readers starting at a young age.
I’m taking the pledge because in order to heal our world we must read and appreciate each others’ stories.
So important to celebrate diversity and understanding
Reading is so important and I want to help make this a reality for all and I support this movement to make books of color to have a little one say “they look just like me”.
Everyone should have access to books that represent them and their community.
I love sharing books of all diversity in my LFL. I live in a rural community of little racial diversity so it is more important than ever to reach out through books.
