Robinson\"\/><\/a>\n                <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Developed in Harlem, Barbershop Books is a community-based program that leverages\u00a0the cultural significance of barbershops in Black communities. The initiative, which targets Black boys who are four to eight years old, increases boys&#8217; access to high quality children&#8217;s books, and works to increase out-of-school time reading among young Black boys. The program also provides literacy training to participating barbers. Barbershop Books is currently active in 21 states including <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Florida<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Illinois<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Maryland<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Michigan<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">New York<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Virginia<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The news-making events of 2020 have highlighted the systemic injustices and disadvantages faced by Black Americans. We believe that literacy is the great equalizer and it is imperative that we give every family the knowledge and resources they need to live with opportunity and dignity,&#8221; said British A. <span class=\"xn-location\">Robinson<\/span>, Barbara Bush Foundation President and CEO. &#8220;We are thrilled to partner with Barbershop Books to support its vital work to empower Black families and communities through literacy.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Through this partnership, the Barbara Bush Foundation will help Barbershop Books launch new reading spaces and provide early literacy training to barbers in 10 barbershops in <span class=\"xn-location\">Baltimore<\/span>, and will support 20 existing reading spaces in <span class=\"xn-location\">Detroit<\/span>. The Foundation will also provide family literacy resources, including access to a free adult literacy app for parents and caregivers who wish to improve their own literacy skills without attending classes. <\/p>\n<p>According to the United States Department of Education,\u00a0more than 85% of America&#8217;s Black male fourth grade students are not proficient in reading. In an increasingly global and knowledge-based economy, poor reading skills among young Black boys today will produce Black men who are unprepared to compete in the workforce of tomorrow. Four key\u00a0factors contribute to low reading\u00a0proficiency among Black boys: 1) limited access to engaging reading material, 2) lack of Black men in Black boys&#8217; early reading experiences, 3) few culturally competent educators, and 4) educational systems that are unresponsive to Black boys&#8217;\u00a0individual learning needs.<\/p>\n<p>Barbershop Books was founded in 2013 by <span class=\"xn-person\">Alvin Irby<\/span> to increase out of school reading time among young Black boys. Irby is a nationally recognized speaker and award-winning social entrepreneur, as well as a cultural competency specialist and a thought leader in the field of early childhood education.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With libraries limited in the services they can provide and some form of distance learning becoming the new norm for young learners, we must think creatively and act courageously to ensure vulnerable children have the reading support they need outside of school,&#8221; said Irby. &#8220;By increasing access to fun books and Black male reading role models, Barbershop Books endeavors to help create the type of early positive reading experiences that help Black boys to identify as readers \u2013 and thus inspire them to read for fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In support of this initiative, Penguin Young Readers has donated culturally relevant, age appropriate books to help participating children \u2013 who have reduced access to community and school libraries during the COVID-19 crisis \u2013 build their own home libraries. Among the titles provided by Penguin are selections from #1\u00a0<i><span class=\"xn-org\">New York Times<\/span><\/i> bestselling author <span class=\"xn-person\">Brad Meltzer&#8217;s<\/span> <i>Ordinary People Change the World <\/i>series and other kid-friendly titles. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We admire the important work Barbershop Books is doing to support childhood literacy within Black communities and we are honored to partner with them and the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy on this important initiative,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Jen Loja<\/span>, President, Penguin <span class=\"xn-person\">Young Readers<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re so\u00a0grateful to Penguin for their generous support of our commitment to Black communities,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-location\">Robinson<\/span>. &#8220;Together, we are making an impact on the lives of Black children and their families \u2013 one that is needed now more than ever \u2013 that will last for years to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>About the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy: <\/b>The Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy has been the nation&#8217;s leading advocate for family literacy for more than three decades.
