Project LIT is a nationwide grassroots movement that started in 2016 with the primary goal of increasing access to high-quality, diverse, culturally-relevant books in order to promote a love of reading within a local community. Project LIT book selections are designed to act as either “mirrors” that allow students to see characters like themselves in literature or “windows” that allow students to gain insight into the experiences of characters that are unlike themselves. The DHHS chapter will meet on a regular basis to select and discuss these books and the culturally and socially relevant topics they cover. Follow @dhhsreads on Instagram.
