Royalty Reads Little Free Library

Royalty Reads Little Free Library is 2 YEARS OLD today!

🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

I am all in my feelings about this…

There are some days this project feels overwhelming and I just want to quit.

Then, there are days when I feel so satisfied after I have gone out into the community and stock libraries with amazing new books.

Recently, I was able to gift a young, Black, first-time teacher a bundle of books for her classroom of young Black kindergartners.

Who would have thought that a summertime daydream would have led to the opportunity to provide BIPOC opportunities to see themselves being reflected in literature, having their identities affirmed, seen, valued, celebrated and represented in books that mirror their images and their lives

In 2 years, 17 Royalty Reads Little Free Libraries have been installed:

• 14 in Evanston’s 5th ward and 2nd ward
• 3 on Chicago’s South Side

Over 2000+ books have been donated, purchased and distributed throughout the 17 Royalty Reads Little Free Libraries.

Please celebrate with me by sharing this post and encouraging your friends to donate towards another year of making literature for our BIPOC accessible in our communities.
