Diverse BookFinder | Lewiston ME is your go-to resource for multicultural children's books. With a circulating collection of picture books from 2002 to the present, our goal is to ensure that no child is left out of mainstream literature. We believe in sparking conversation and driving change by researching and analyzing the current inclusion of diverse characters in picture books.

Our website provides various ways to explore our collection. You can search for books using our convenient search tool, browse our quick lists, or utilize our Collection Analysis Tool (CAT) to assess and diversify your own picture book collection. Through interlibrary loan, you can easily borrow the books from your local library.

The Diverse BookFinder is not just a collection, but also a valuable source of real-time data. We provide insights into representation disparities by showcasing the percentage of books featuring BIPOC characters from different racial and cultural groups. Our aim is to foster a deeper understanding and facilitate meaningful conversations about diversity in children's literature.
