The UMBC Albin O. Kuhn Library needs student input and leadership to assist with a #weneeddiversebooks campaign.

They are interested in collaborating with students to put together displays, events, and other resources that highlight both the need for diverse perspectives in literature and the representation of such perspectives in our library. They also hope to plan a kickoff event in coordination with the Baltimore Book Festival, which takes place Sept. 25-27, 2015 at the Baltimore Inner Harbor.

If you are interested in participating and contributing to this campaign, contact Joanna Gadsby at gadsby@umbc.edu.

The first meeting will take place very soon!
