Diversity in Collection Development

Diversity Resources
Why do we need diverse books in our collection?
1. Other Videos and Resources:

"Those kids who are hungry for books aren't always going to be straight, able-bodied, white males. And they want books that reflect that. Just as we need black students graduating top of their class at Harvard and brilliant female astronauts as our role models, so do we need our diverse literary heroes to remind us that the world is a playground for all, no matter who you are."

~~Jacob Hood

Approach selection through a diversity/equity lens. Think of literature as "windows", "mirrors", "bridges", "sliding glass doors" and much more for your school community.
