World Day for Cultural Diversity

The Library highlighted a range of excellent young adult novels from authors around the world to mark World Day for Cultural Diversity with a series of posters displayed on the Library windows. We continue to promote these novels throughout June.

Reading culturally diverse books allows our students to travel the globe without leaving home (a good option during percarious COVID times!). They also promote the notion of learning about cultural differences and avoiding assumptions about others whose lives may be different to our own. Some of the Library’s favourite culturally diverse books include:

Between Us by Clare Atkins, Number the Stars by Lois Lowry, The Whale Rider by Witi Ihimaera, Freedom Swimmer by Wai Chim, Father of the Lost Boys by Yuot A. Alaak, and Tell Me Why by Archie Roach.
