Little diverse lending library

This library is dedicated to the voices of Black, Indigenous and other racialized writers. We hope that the books in this Little Diverse Lending Library will be taken home and enjoyed, then returned to this library for others to borrow.

​We also encourage members of the community to add books by racialized authors. For more information on the KW Little Free Diverse Libraries project, visit www.kwlittlefreediverselibraries.com or @KWLittleFreeDiverseLibraries on Instagram or Facebook.

Land Acknowledgement
The Mill Courtland Community Centre is situated on the traditional territory of Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee and Neutral Peoples. We recognize our responsibility to serve as stewards for the land and honour the original caretakers who came before us. Our community is enriched by the enduring knowledge and deep-rooted traditions of the diverse First Nations, Metis and Inuit PEOPLE in the neighbourhoods of Mill-Courtland and Highland-Stirling.
 
 
Statement of Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity
The Highland Stirling Community Group, the Mill Courtland Neighbourhood Association, and the Mill Courtland Community Centre acknowledge the existence and impact of systemic discrimination within public institutions, including community centres. We are committed to creating equitable access to inclusive community programs that meet the diverse needs of community members. We do this through internal training on anti-racism and anti-hate, through partnerships with organizations that represent marginalized populations, and through the active recruitment of members of marginalized populations for leadership positions.
Anti-Racism & Anti-Hate Initiatives
The Highland Stirling Community Group, the Mill Courtland Neighbourhood Association, and the Mill Courtland Community Centre are dedicated to offering community programs that meet the needs of the diverse population of downtown Kitchener and area. We actively seek opportunities to partner with local groups to provide meaningful and equitable programming for marginalized populations. We encourage any individual or group who is interested in proposing, developing, or delivering a program to reach out to [email protected] or phone the centre at 519-741-2491.
