The Buckeye Barbershop

Barbershop Books is an award-winning literacy program that celebrates and promotes the interests of Black boys by creating child-friendly reading spaces in barbershops. Through partnerships with organizations like the NFL and Las Vegas Libraries, Barbershop Books inspires kids to read for fun and increases out-of-school time reading. Their innovative programs, such as the Reading So Lit digital platform, curate culturally relevant content and cultivate children's reading identity, while collaborating with communities to expand reading opportunities for vulnerable children. Barbershop Books is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that aims to improve child literacy by providing engaging books that boys actually want to read. With a focus on creating literary spaces in places where children find themselves with time on their hands, Barbershop Books is transforming the way kids perceive reading and empowering them to explore their interests through literature. Through their E-Library, which features fun storytime videos and a diverse collection of independently published ebooks, Barbershop Books continues to inspire and support children in their reading journey.Generated from the website
