My Project

Our school is bursting at the seams with 2000+ students with varying backgrounds (ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic standing, gender identity and abilities). Our school is becoming more beautifully diverse each year. As a school, we are tasked with looking at ways to become more inclusive and equitable. Our goal is to help our students become a community of engaged, educated, and empathetic members of society.

We feel strongly that our library collection must reflect the student population that we serve.

Many students find solace and strength in the pages of a good book. Sometimes they are able to bond with characters they read about, especially when books contain characters that reflect who they are as individuals. They can read about the way a protagonist thinks, feels and interacts with others in the story and, by doing so, they form connections that might help them learn more about themselves and others. .

We have undergone a full diversity audit to assess where we are in terms of diverse offerings and to determine the holes that need to be filled in order to update our collection. Our students must have access to books that mirror their identities. They need to be able to see themselves in the pages that they are reading. Students also need an opportunity to be exposed to cultures and marginalized groups.
