librarians and library users can search for lists organized around particular components of diversity. We seek diversity book lists, LibGuides, and similar resources for adults made between 2016 and the present that are published on the library’s website.
We seek reading lists that cover a wide range of diversities: indigeneity, LGBTQ+, race and ethnicity, religion, gender, aging, disability, social and economic conditions such as incarceration, immigration, and diverse family structures.
