WHY DO WE NEED DIVERSE BOOKS IN NON-DIVERSE SCHOOLS?

Research shows that the less contact students have with people from other racial groups, the more likely they are to retain higherlevels of prejudice.

Here are a few key benefits to adding diverse books to a collection, regardless of the demographics of students:
