Resources for Finding Diverse Book Titles
Resources for Finding Diverse Book Titles
How can we work to make libraries more inclusive? One of the greatest challenges for librarians and educators today is finding culturally relevant and authentic titles to promote in our libraries. Some of the tools below are great resources for finding authors that represent diverse experiences, and databases for finding titles that represent various lived experiences. I hope you will check them out!
This database was created in 2002 out of Bates College as a means for helping all readers find more diverse titles. You can easily sort by topics such as themes, ethnicity, or award-winning titles. This database mainly is composed of elementary-age picture books.
This database is run by a non-profit organization called Latinx Kidlit Book Festival. They focus on the promotion of Latinx authors and illustrators. You can easily sort by topics such as themes, ethnicity, or award-winning titles. This database includes all age ranges K-12.
We Need Diverse Books (WNDB) is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to promote literature reflective of various lived experiences, including LGBTQIA+, Native, people of color, gender diversity, people with disabilities, and cultural, and religious minorities.
