A Jacksonville charity is giving people access to books in mobile libraries called “Little Free Diverse Libraries” that will be all around Duval County.
The first is on King Street near Roosevelt Boulevard in the Riverside neighborhood, south of the I-10 overpass.
This comes as schools review books in response to a new state law, and some educators are “erring on the side of caution” and removing all books from their shelves in their classrooms and libraries. This first library is dedicated to the late Bryant Rollins, who was a journalist and author who fought for social and racial justice, especially during the Civil Rights Movement.“The entire world is trying to grapple with how we can make peace with each other, and Bryant would have said to them -- as did Martin Luther King Jr. -- all meaningful and lasting change begins on the inside,” Stetson said.
