Community Reads aims to make new and used books of cultural and social significance accessible to charitably qualifying readers of all ages — including youth, first-generation college students, veterans, and seniors; people with visible or invisible disabilities; survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, or abuse; and people who are unhoused, historically disadvantaged, or economically disenfranchised.

Our programs bring diverse readers together in Third Spaces like the Midtown Scholar Bookstore, deepen the connections between urban, rural, and suburban communities, and create opportunities for insightful, transformative conversations that can spur the vital exchange of civic ideas.
