My Project

I want to diversify my school library collection to ensure that all students feel seen, valued, and represented. A diverse collection fosters empathy, understanding, and respect by exposing students to different cultures, identities, and perspectives. It helps build a more inclusive school environment where everyone can find stories that reflect their own experiences as well as those of others. By including a wide range of voices—across race, gender, ability, religion, and more—I aim to support both academic growth and social-emotional learning in a meaningful, relevant way. Diversity in literature empowers students and broadens their worldview.
