Take a Walk in Someone Else’s Shoes

Calling all parents, teachers, and students! Want to challenge yourself and learn about what life is like for other people at the same time? Try the Diverse Reads Reading Challenge, where you read up to 9 books written by or about a diverse range of people. I have copies of the flyer in the library if you’d like a hard copy.

Not sure where to start? Go the library homepage, click on “Catalog,” then click on “Resource Lists” on the left. Scroll down until you find the 8 “Diverse Reads” resource lists I’ve created that fit the categories. I’ve included books, ebooks, audiobooks, and non-English books. Not every book is in the list, of course, but it’s a place to start. Email me at angelaromero@nanjing-school.com with any questions!
