Building Diversity

The items listed below were purchased via a library system-wide grant. This grant was awarded in order to promote collection diversity, in all meanings of the term: social, cultural, racial, spiritual, socioeconomic, etc. The spirit of the grant and the items purchased is to allow children to use the library collections as both a window and a mirror: a window into other, different lives and a mirror of their own.
