Partnerships in Literacy
Empowering Our Community Through Literacy: The Partnerships in Literacy Program
Mission Statement: Partnerships in Literacy is dedicated to rescuing books destined for destruction and, through the vibrant platform of the African Griot Book Fair for Children, distributing them to young readers in Baltimore City and County. We aim to foster a love of reading, celebrate diverse narratives, and ensure equitable access to literature for all children.
Program Overview:
Partnerships in Literacy will serve as a vital link between the abundance of books slated for disposal and the children who can benefit most from them. Our unique distribution channel, the African Griot Book Fair for Children, will not only facilitate the dispersal of books but also create an enriching cultural experience that celebrates the rich oral and written traditions of the African diaspora.

The African Griot Book Fair for Children: Our Vision
Our main focus at The African Griot Book Fair is simple: to get books into the hands of children who share in the joy of reading. To achieve this, we proudly feature a diverse array of book authors, both adult and child, who have penned wonderful children's stories. These authors join us as vendors, eager to share their creations with our young readers.
Beyond the magic of books, we also invite children entrepreneurs to participate. This unique aspect of our fair aims to cultivate a strong sense of business ownership and a robust work ethic from a young age, inspiring the next generation of innovators and leaders.
