/ CBS Miami

DAYTONA BEACH (CBSMiami/AP) — The Volusia County Public Library is offering anti-racism kits to help people broach difficult conversations about race in a meaningful way.

The library made the kits available for checkout on Friday. Each kit centers a discussion around a book and is geared for different age groups from kindergarten to adults.

The library received a $3,000 grant from Florida Humanities to launch the project.

"I think what the staff are hoping to see is civil discourse," librarian Melissa Reynolds told The Daytona Beach News-Journal.
