“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.”

I believe that every child deserves to see themselves and others reflected in the stories they read. Through representation in reading, we foster empathy and belonging while helping young hearts grow with curiosity, compassion, and confidence.
We want our LFL to be known it is one for everyone. We add books of all types and for all ages, especially children, every week. A sign inside welcomes and encourages readers to enjoy and share the books within. It is used a lot!
Books bring life to our souls. Everyone deserves to feel that kind of joy and connection. <3
Celebrating diversity 365 days a year to help others embrace diversity and the power of reading. Literacy matters!
I think it’s imperative we tell all stories!
