New drive to get books by black authors into libraries by S_Fleary1
UNIVERSAL MUSIC Group and The Reading Agency have launched a new campaign to provide books written by black authors to libraries in the United Kingdom.
In 2019, 8.68% of children’s book creators were people of colour, with just 2.86% being British people of colour “Working together on this campaign offers an exciting opportunity to fulfil some of these objectives and celebrate important books by excellent Black authors.” The leading charity partnered with UMG through the company’s UK Task Force for Meaningful Change , which focuses on the unique challenges facing the UK’s black community. The titles will be available to borrow in public libraries from early December.
By gifting these books into libraries UMG and The Reading Agency hope to shine a light on Black authors and their creativity.
