The Woodlawn Little Free Library

Thank you to @ Swaggertownlittle (on instagram) for the new, diverse book donations!! They’re now available in our little free library today! 📚🤝

“Here's an update on the Swaggertown Little Free Library's efforts to gather book donations. So far we have gotten 27 book donations in order to add diverse books, authors, and experiences to our local LFLs. Our current goal is to get at least 50 books to distribute.”

A fellow, local little free library steward is doing an amazing thing to promote diversity in the books we are making available for our community. 📚

“Inspired by other little diverse library stewards (), I want to help amplify BIPOC voices and stories. I believe everyone deserves to see themselves represented in the literature they read; I work hard to do that in my own classroom. As a little library steward, most of the books that are donated or put in our little library to share lack any sort of diversity besides what I have shared from my own collection (The Hate U Give, The New Jim Crow, White Fragility etc). I would love my students to be able to stop by a little free library in Schenectady and have the choice to take a book written by an author of color or written about an experience they can connect to. Additionally, spreading BIPOC voices to others in less diverse communities allows people to read, learn, and empathize with others to be part of the solution and create the change we need to see. My goal is to deliver these books to my Glenville community and to fill the 30+ little libraries in our surrounding areas (Schenectady, Niskayuna, Burnt Hills, Saratoga, Clifton Park, Scotia, Rotterdam).”
