Barbershop Books is an award-winning nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing literacy among Black boys by creating culturally meaningful reading spaces in neighborhood barbershops. Through trauma-informed barber training and curated content, the program fosters early literacy engagement and helps boys identify as readers, significantly increasing their out-of-school reading time.
By collaborating with libraries, school districts, and local nonprofits, Barbershop Books implements innovative literacy programming that reflects the interests and experiences of Black boys and other vulnerable children. Their Reading So Lit platform further supports reading identity development through multimedia and social-emotional learning, making reading a fun and empowering experience.
