On September 30, Broadway Square's Little Free Library is celebrating the Read in Color® initiative and sharing diverse voices with its annual Read in Color Diversity Day event!
For Read in Color Diversity Day, and we're encouraging residents to:
- “take a diverse book and share a diverse book” at Broadway Square’s Little Free Library
- participate in Broadway Square’s Read in Color Diversity Day activities
- pledge to Read in Color and foster inclusion this day and beyond
Broadway Square's Little Free Library features books from the Read in Color Recommended Reading book list which will be read at the event. These books represent diverse voices for audiences of all ages.
Join us from 4:00 - 5:00 pm at Broadway Square to collect some Little Free Library and Read in Color® goodies and hear some new stories read aloud. Then stay for the NDSU Homecoming Parade which passes The Square along its Broadway route shortly after 5:30 pm!
See below for additional ways to celebrate diversity and the Read in Color® program.
