Equity
The Equity Committee’s vision: diversity, equity, and inclusion are natural parts of what we do to be good neighbors. To honor that vision, we express those qualities in common neighborly terms: openness, fairness, and welcoming.

2026 Reading Challenge
We’re excited to announce a year-long reading challenge designed to make reading more expansive, inclusive, and enjoyable.
Each month focuses on a theme that highlights authors and stories from under-represented communities across a wide range of genres. You’ll choose your own books, read at your own pace, and decide how deeply you want to participate.
The goal isn’t to read perfectly or correctly. The goal is to discover great stories, expand your reading habits, and maybe find a few new favorite authors along the way.
