Beyond the Bars visits Tree House Books

This week, Beyond the Bars, visited Tree House Books to discuss how musical engineers make tracks. After a short introduction, students tried their hands at making their own beats. It seems we have some musical geniuses among us!

We weathered 2020 because of deep community roots - donors who kept giving during economic uncertainty, volunteers who found new ways to help, families who kept showing up.

Resilience isn't individual. It's collective.

Just a small selection of the awesome brand new books we've received as part of our Holiday Book drive so far. You can still support our drive AND local Black owned bookstores this holiday season by purchasing books off our wishlists. Help us spread the joy of a new book to our community!

She didn't just work with children.

She involved their parents, asking: "How do you want to impact this neighborhood?"

She didn't just ask kids "what book do you want to read?"

She asked them: "What do you want to create here in North Philly?"

Today we're shouting out some of our favorite small, and/or, Black-owned book businesses in Philly. Most of these places support Tree House Books with their donations throughout the year! Support local, support community

One day, a boy asked for help with homework. She was ready - until he pulled out a math sheet. 😅

Math wasn't her thing. But reading was. So she helped him read.
