National Reading Month
National Reading Month celebrates the joy of reading and encourages people of all ages to develop and maintain a love for reading.
"Windows, Mirrors, and Sliding Glass Doors" is a concept introduced by children's book author Rudine Sims Bishop. It refers to the way in which literature can serve as windows through which readers gain insight into experiences different from their own (offering a view into other identities, cultures, and perspectives), mirrors that reflect and validate our personal experiences, and sliding glass doors that invite readers to step into the shoes of characters and explore different worlds.
During National Reading Month, educators, librarians, and book enthusiasts should emphasize the significance of diverse literature that provides both mirrors and windows for readers. By promoting books that reflect the experiences of various cultures, backgrounds, and identities, the goal is to create a more inclusive and empathetic reading experience.
