Book an Author Launches Nonprofit Arm to Promote Literacy and Education
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
January 23, 2025 — Book an Author is proud to announce the establishment of its nonprofit arm, Literacy Forum, which officially received its 501(c)(3) status. This milestone underscores the organization’s dedication to advancing literacy by equipping educators, librarians, and PTO leaders with the tools and strategies they need to create impactful learning environments and foster lifelong readers.
Literacy Forum by Book an Author addresses critical gaps in education, including equitable access to reading materials, innovative teaching methods, and strategies for promoting literacy engagement in diverse communities. With programming designed specifically for those working directly with students and communities, the nonprofit provides thought-provoking webinars, in-depth discussions with literacy experts, and initiatives like the Disaster Relief Book Bank, which provides resources to underserved schools and libraries.
“Literacy is the foundation for opportunity, understanding, and connection,” said Serena Li, co-founder of Book an Author. “The Literacy Forum allows us to bring together changemakers in education and create a collaborative space where we can tackle some of the most pressing literacy challenges of our time.”
Since launch, Literacy Forum has already hosted webinars, and virtual panel discussions on topics such as integrating ethical AI tools in classrooms and libraries, advancing diversity and inclusion through bilingual resources, and creating effective strategies to engage stakeholders in literacy initiatives. Hosted by influential and award-winning librarians from around the country, these free resources along with the nonprofit’s growing slate of programs, are helping educational leaders take actionable steps toward improving literacy outcomes in their communities.
