What do we mean by diversity in the context of a library collection?
We are looking for books that recognize all diverse experiences, including (but not limited to):
Ethnic, Cultural, and Religious Minority Groups-- specifically Native/Indigenous, Black/African American, Latino, Asian, and English Language Learners
Gender and LGBTQIA Diversity
People with Disabilities
Different Political Leanings
Various Body Types.
We would also like to see stories featuring various:
living situations / socio- economic status
settings-- urban, suburban, rural
time periods -- both historical and current stories
→ We are seeking books in which the main character or several secondary characters show their complexity of character as role models, overcoming challenges, and breaking stereotypes.
→ It is preferable that the author is part of the same minority group as the character.
