Library Grants for Diverse Books

This Grant enabled us to purchase Filipino (plus Korean novels) with the help of students during Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage month! Students were surprised and excited to see so many books written by and about Filipino culture, including novels, mango, and cookbooks. One student shared her Lola (grandma) holding one of the books. We also were able to purchase read-alikes for students who love LGBTQ+ books. Students continue to tell us to know that they appreciate being able to find books that reflect their cultures and interests as well as books reflecting cultures outside their own.
