SUMMARY:Read In Color Denver LAUNCH
DESCRIPTION:NEW ANNOUNCMENT: Launch event to take place at Park Hill Station Apartments\, 4055 Albion St. Denver! \nCheck back here or follow us on Instagram or Facebook to stay informed about this exciting initiative. \nBookGive has been chosen to launch Little Free Library’s Read In Color initiative to bring diverse books where they are needed in Denver. We will oversee the placement of 10 book-sharing boxes\, choosing locations that will support diverse communities in Denver-area book deserts. Little Free Library supplies the boxes and 200 diverse books to launch each location. BookGive pledges to continue supplying books into the future. \nLess than 25% of children’s books depict non-white characters. Only 3.4% of books have a main character with a disability and 3.1% have a main character who identifies as queer. (Stats here.*) \nBookGive is firmly committed to making sure all readers see characters that represent marginalized groups and have access to authors bringing the full richness of human experience. The book industry has historically centered whiteness giving us all a skewed representation. We stand with Little Free Library’s strong pledge to read and share diverse books\, lifting up marginalized perspectives in publishing. \nOver the course of the summer\, we’ll be identifying ideal locations and working closely with partner organizations like schools\, community centers\, churches\, grocery stores and rec centers where diverse books would be most welcomed and needed. \nTo get involved\, email us!
