Kalamazoo Public Library Promotes Diversity With New Scholarship If you're in your early thirties, like me, one of your favorite childhood movies might have been Beauty and the Beast. Besides the talking furniture and happily ever after, the main thing I took away from that movie was... I want that library. As a child who loved to read that library was my dream. I don't know why, with that in mind, it never occurred to me that I could actually go work in a library. Of course, it's an actual career. One that Kalamazoo Public Library hopes to grow and help become more diverse.
