the campaign - pinkstinks approved

Letterbox Library
Letterbox Library was established 25 years ago by two single mothers, who were inspired (and provoked!) by the lack of appropriate books for their own daughters – so they decided to search out and provide inclusive children’s books.

“Letterbox Library has a glorious record of providing books for children that celebrate our cultural diversity along with books that point us in the direction of how the world could be a fairer place. Ideally, every school and playgroup in the country would be using Letterbox Library’s catalogue if for no other reason than to balance the mass-market book club catalogues and book fairs which do not serve the reading needs of all children. Here’s wishing all the very best for the next 25 years.”
Michael Rosen, Children’s Laureate, 2008
