Barbershop Books, our namesake program, leverages a national network of barbershop partners to inspire Black boys and other vulnerable children to read for fun.

This innovative approach connects reading to a male-centered space and involves Black men in boys’ early reading experiences.

Reading So Lit is our new collection of supplemental K-3 literacy programs designed by Black early childhood educators to increase students’ reading motivation.

This groundbreaking instructional content integrates social-emotional learning, culturally responsive teaching, and imaginative play.

The Barbershop Books E-Library features a diverse collection of fun storytime videos and independently published e-books by Black and Brown authors.
