An Open Book Foundation

It’s Give Greater DC day! Here are three reasons to fund literacy this spring:

1) Right now, book bans are at an all-time high, which limits young people’s access to books. An Open Book is dedicated to putting books in the hands of DC-area readers so they can see themselves reflected in stories.
2) When you support An Open Book, you are telling young readers in DC that they matter and that they deserve to meet cool authors/illustrators from across the country.
3) After each class visit, each DC-area student walks away with a new book to add to their home library. Don’t you just love the new-book smell?

Every gift today will make a meaningful difference in the lives of DC students throughout the upcoming school year. You can support AOB here: https://www.givegreaterdc.org/o/an-open-book-foundation

Every day, An Open Book nurtures a lifelong love of literature for young readers and supports educational justice by building equitable access to interactive literacy enrichment and high-quality books. Help us celebrate Give Greater DC by contributing to our mission. https://www.givegreaterdc.org/o/an-open-book-foundation

Gratitude to author & editor for spending the morning at with students! Before visiting the museum galleries, Traci shared love-inspired poems from “This Is Not A Small Voice : Poems by Black Poets” ! Students (& staff) wrote love-inspired poems of their own, with time to share during a poetry slam/open mic! Thanks for your partnership!
