Made for Me Books: 
Changing the narrative for 
all of our young readers.

Made for Me Books wants all young people to have a diverse collection of books at home. Books that:

• reflect stories that we can all connect to;
• give us windows into other lives and cultures;
• illuminate histories and experiences that are not as widely shared;
• are theirs for the keeping - so they can read them over and over again!

We identify books and authors that highlight the diversity of stories across Black, Indigenous, Latino, African and Asian diasporas. We provide them FOR FREE, to young people in and around Harlem at events in partnership with neighbors, housing developments and other local community organizations.  We also host our own events when we can.

Since 2020, we have distributed more than 6,000 books to 2500 people.
Made for Me Books is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.

PLEASE DONATE NOW and help us continue to get more diverse books into homes.
