In barbershops across the country, Barbershop Books is changing the way kids interact with reading. By placing reading nooks in the comfortable and familiar setting of a barbershop, this nonprofit encourages young boys, especially those of color, to explore books featuring characters that reflect their experiences. The simplicity and consistency of this initiative remove barriers to literacy by making reading an inviting and enjoyable experience. The cultural significance of barbershops as community spaces enriches this endeavor and ensures its success. By creating a space where children feel seen and valued, barbershop books inspires a quiet yet impactful change.
