May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time to celebrate and appreciate the diverse cultures and contributions of AAPI communities. One way to honor this month is by highlighting the works of AAPI writers, who have made significant contributions to literature.

AAPI writers bring unique perspectives and experiences to their writing, which provides a window into the AAPI community's lives and experiences. Their works help to break down stereotypes and promote inclusivity and diversity in literature.

In the wake of ongoing anti-Asian discrimination, it is more important than ever to uplift AAPI voices and stories. Below, we’ve highlighted a sample of the books written by AAPI writers available throughout the Edison Public Library system. Let's uplift their voices and stories and work towards a more equitable world for all.
