Hello and welcome to I Dream Library - Canada's first Intersectional Diverse SOGI Educator Resource project!
What We Do
i Dream Library™ offers K-12 books, tools and educator resources that engage diverse & inclusive social justice conversations through the intersectional literature, visual tools & trainings.
We believe that,,,
Anti-racism
Anti-Oppression
SOGI Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity
Gender equity & safety
Accessibility
Body Positivity
Mental Health
...are all part of the public safety conversation & CAN be addressed when caregivers, educators & students have access to the tools.
The Genesis
After 2 years of independently funding research & design of an online literary model that supports educators in creating safe and inclusive classrooms for all students, we launched our website in April of 2019!
WE NEED YOUR INVESTMENT to make I Dream Library's diverse & inclusive resources an EASILY ACCESSIBLE REALITY.
