Celebrate Diversity
We invite you to explore the Library’s diverse collections and read stories from across the world in multiple languages and formats. Browse digital resources, films, and magazines that educate, entertain, and cast a wide net on the human experience. Enjoy frequently updated and highlighted materials that reflect our diverse communities.
Libraries are for everyone. All are welcome.
“Reading, then, becomes a means of self-affirmation, and readers often seek their mirrors in books... When there are enough books available that can act as both mirrors and windows for all our children, they will see that we can celebrate both our differences and our similarities, because together they are what make us all human.”
-- Rudine Sims Bishop, "Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Glass Doors," 1990.
