Little Free Diverse Libraries Canada

Amplifying Black voices with diverse books for our Canadian Little Free Libraries. Inspired by Sarah Kamya of LFDL project in the U.S.

We are so grateful for an incredibly generous donation of books from @PenguinRandomCA. This means we will reach our goal of filling EVERY Little Free Library in Toronto with diverse books! Thank you @PenguinRandomCA for your support and your commitment to amplifying Black voices.
