For Schools & Educators

Since Boogie Down Books launched in 2017, the core values that we use to guide our work have been joy, justice, and community. We believe that learning should be transformational, not transactional, and we design and facilitate programming that cultivates affirmation, inspiration, and possibility for learners of all ages. Join us in promoting joyful reading and learning experiences that center the stories, identities, and experiences of young people in our Bronx community and beyond. We offer a range of virtual and in-person programs to  launch or enhance exciting initiatives for your entire community.


We can help you:

  • Explore your school's literacy strengths, goals, and needs.
  • Brainstorm events and experiences to engage readers of all ages.
  • Ensure your students' backgrounds, identities, and communities are reflected in the books they read.
  • Provide teachers with the resources to cultivate a lifelong love of reading in their students.
  • Strategize how to use your school's resources–human, financial, space, and time–to meet your goals.
