This annotated booklist of diverse and multicultural fiction comes from Librarybooklists.org, a website that includes booklists gathered from libraries throughout the nation, and original bookslists created by the websmaster for the Waterboro Public Library. This is possibly the most diverse annotated list of booklists that I have come across on the Internet. Five booklist categories cover ethnicity and race, religion, gender, sexuality, and disability. Most entries in the list note when the list was compiled or last updated, and many lists are no more than four years old. Some interesting booklists include: From Strangers to Neighbors: Race, Dignity and Acceptance Beyond To Kill a Mockingbird: For Older Children, Aboriginal Books for Teens, and Rebound: Teens Dealing with Disabilities. For all of the list's positive aspects, do watch out for broken links - it may take some digging around on the library's website to find the updated list.
