In light of the horrible actions that occurred in Charlottesville recently, and in America over the past year or so, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about diversity in literature. Diversity means "the condition of having or being composed of differing elements". It's so important to have a diverse collection for a number of reasons. It enables people to be exposed to ideas, cultures, and thoughts that are different from their own. It also allows people who are more marginalized in society to have a voice. Sometimes it can be hard to know where to start. So, I've made a list of lists of diverse books. Have any other great lists or recommendations? Add them in the comments section! Adults:
