Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are essential given the equity gap and its disproportionate effect on Central Texas children of color. BookSpring is dedicated to working for underserved populations in the Greater Austin area. If educational achievement predicts future success and opportunities, then BookSpring commits to increasing opportunities for academic success for students facing these equity challenges.
We commit to:
- Adding representation of People of Color in the titles and characters in our inventory
- Continuing to serve people of low socioeconomic status
- Continuing to serve People of Color
- Increasing our awareness of what it means to serve these populations
- Engaging in dialogues with our community and stakeholders
- Providing opportunities to hear the voices of those who we serve
And we are going to address this by:
- Reserving four seats on the Board for members of the community
- Creating a Community Advisory Board
If you are interested in being part of this organization and its commitments, don’t hesitate to contact communications@bookspring.org or call us at 512 472-1791.
