Reading for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

Welcome to the Centre for Equity and Inclusion (CEI) Diversity Collection. Sheridan Library Services partnered with CEI to house this collection of fiction and nonfiction books reflecting the experience of those whose voices are not always heard. This is a great place to find stories from the immigrant, Indigenous and racialized people, 2SLGBTQ+, and disability communities.

The books in the CEI Diversity Collection were all chosen to be thought-provoking, but above all, they were chosen as thoughtful and entertaining reads. We've chosen a few below to give you an idea of the content. Graphic novels, children's books, fiction, or biography - it's all here. 

Explore the selected titles below and check out the full list on the Book List page. Links in the book list will take you to the library catalogue entry. Most of the books are in hard copy and all are available to the Sheridan community for borrowing.
