Our statement regarding the firing of Dr. Carla Hayden (continued)
Graphic with neutral-colored background containing an official statement from We Need Diverse Books regarding the recent firing of Dr. Carla Hayden. The fourth part of the statement says, “Dr. Hayden once said that libraries are a “cornerstone of democracy—where information is free and equally available to everyone.” But right now across the U.S., libraries are under threat. We urge our fellow Americans to call your representatives and tell them to support continued federal funding for libraries nationwide. At We Need Diverse Books, we will do our part to carry on Dr. Hayden's legacy by protecting our libraries and the dedicated librarians who staff them.” Graphic with neutral-colored background containing a pull-quote from former Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, that says: “Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy —where information is free and equally available to everyone.” Graphic with neutral-colored background containing a five-photo collage showing former Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, speaking at a recent Walter Awards Ceremony held at the Library of Congress.

Also, it was only because of this drama that I realized he was a supporter of JKR. Which was another crucial reason for my deep disappointment. I will always support the transgender community.

To kick off the inaugural #WeNeedDiverseBooksDay, WNDB is also committing to donating 10,000 diverse titles across the country in 2025. We believe that diverse books ought to be read and celebrated, especially now as book bans disproportionately target them.

Thank you for all your support!
