About Represent
Represent is the campaign the Library is running to help diversify our collections.
It’s important to us that our collections represent the incredibly diverse range of voices in our students, staff and local population. We are keen to include more works by underrepresented voices in the Library and are asking you to recommend titles for us to purchase. These could include (but are not limited to) titles written by underrepresented racial or ethnic groups, LGBTQ+ or disabled authors as well as titles related to race, gender, sexuality, social class, mental health, disabilities, neurodiversity, and learning difficulties.
Complete our online form to give us your recommendations and make a difference to our collection. Take a look at the titles we have already purchased by:
- searching ‘readatleicester’ on Library Search
- check out our online reading list
- read online books and audio books via the Libby platform
Thank you for your requests we welcome them.
