First Library
1st Library ensures every child in need has books in their home by helping them create their first home library. Using books donated to the “I See Me Book Drive” and shelves built and donated by a local DIY store, the program builds early readers into lifelong learners—and encourages other family members to read as well.

Crown Me
“Crown Me”, offers students from local elementary schools a chance to EARN free haircuts by simply reading. Named after the children’s book “Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut” by Derrick Barnes, is an effort to motivate as well as attach a positive sense to reading to male students. Each student that is involved will receive a free book at the beginning of each month. Once a month, students will share their reading mastery with the barber in an attempt to be “crowned” with a free haircut to celebrate their success.
