Diversity in Libraries

Diversity in libraries means including materials, resources, and staff that represent different cultures, backgrounds, languages, abilities, and perspectives. It ensures that all community members feel seen, welcomed, and supported, offering access to a wide range of ideas and experiences. This approach promotes understanding, respect, and equity, reflecting the society the library serves. By embracing diversity, libraries become inclusive spaces where everyone can learn, grow, and connect, fostering a richer and more comprehensive collection of knowledge for all.
