Inspired by Sarah Kamya's Little Free Diverse Libraries initiative, LFDL BC is seeking to fill all 197 #LittleFreeLibraries in British Columbia with Black & Indigenous voices. Representation matters.

Here's how you can help: a thread. 👀🧵

With #CancelCanadaDay fast approaching, I realized that some of you with young kids may be trying to teach them about residential schools. I also know that some of you may be having a tough time trying to figure out how.

Let your Kindergarten teacher friend help.

If you need help, please reach out. Having an emotional reaction from hearing about the atrocious history and impacts of Indian Residential Schools is completely justified and normal. What happened was wrong and never should have happened.

Continuing to stock the Okanagan's #littlefreelibraries with Phyllis's Orange Shirt by Phyllis Webstad and more books from Indigenous authors. That #BCHeatWave can't stop us!
