Teen Author and Creator of #1000BlackGirlBooks Encourages Children to Get Library Cards
16 year-old Marley Dias is the American Library Association’s honorary chair for “Library Card Sign-Up Month,” and she wants to encourage children to get library cards. Dias has long been a lover of libraries and books. When she was 10 years old, Dias started the #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign, a book drive for stories featuring Black main characters. Since starting the campaign, she has collected and donated over 13,000 Black girl books. She’s also written a book herself, Marley Dias Gets It Done: and So Can You.
Now Dias is joining the Orange County Library System and libraries nationwide to encourage children to sign up for a library card. For kids that are still hesitant about using the library, Dias wants to tell them, “The most valuable resource is the librarian. If you want to go on the computer and play games, if you want to look up something about your town’s history, or just borrow a book, they will support and help you along the way.”
