IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0THE IMPACT LIBRARY PROGRAM PLACES BOOK-SHARING BOXES IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES, WHERE THEY CAN BE A CATALYST FOR IMPROVING READING MOTIVATION AND DEEPENING COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0READ IN COLOR BRINGS DIVERSE BOOKS TO LITTLE FREE LIBRARY BOOK-SHARING BOXES AROUND THE WORLD. READ IN COLOR DISTRIBUTES BOOKS THAT PROVIDE PERSPECTIVES ON RACISM AND SOCIAL JUSTICE; CELEBRATE BIPOC, LGBTQ+, AND OTHER MARGINALIZED VOICES; AND INCORPORATE EXPERIENCES FROM ALL IDENTITIES FOR ALL READERS. WHEN GEORGE FLOYD WAS MURDERED IN MINNEAPOLIS IN 2020, THE LITTLE FREE LIBRARY WORKED WITH OUR COMMUNITY TO DEVELOP READ IN COLOR TO HELP CREATE MEANINGFUL CHANGE. MORE THAN 8,000 DIVERSE BOOKS AND 25 LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED IN THE TWIN CITIES TO DATE. SINCE 2020, READ IN COLOR HAS EXPANDED NATIONWIDE TO 18 ADDITIONAL CITIES WITH MORE ON THE WAY! IN TOTAL, MORE THAN 225 LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED IN HIGH-IMPACT AREAS AND 50,000 DIVERSE BOOKS HAVE BEEN SHARED.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc1THROUGH OUR INDIGENOUS LIBRARY PROGRAM, WE GRANT NO-COST LITTLE FREE LIBRARY BOXES FULL OF BOOKS TO INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES WITH LIMITED BOOK ACCESS. AN ADVISORY GROUP ASSISTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION OF THE PROGRAM. THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH LITTLE FREE LIBRARY, AS STEWARDS OF BOOK-SHARING BOXES, AND COMMITMENT TO SERVING INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, IS INVALUABLE IN DEVELOPING A CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE AND ROBUST PROGRAM. SIMILAR TO THE IMPACT LIBRARY PROGRAM, A REGULAR APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS AND INSTALLATION FOLLOW-UP ESTABLISHES A CONNECTION BETWEEN LIBRARY RECIPIENTS AND THE LITTLE FREE LIBRARY COMMUNITY. PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS ARE ASKED TO COMMIT TO SETTING UP AND MAINTAINING THE LIBRARY FOR A MINIMUM OF ONE YEAR; TAKING A PICTURE AND SHARING THE LIBRARY'S STORY; AND HOLDING AT LEAST ONE READING OR NEIGHBORHOOD ACTIVITY IN THE FIRST YEAR.
