Read Aloud With US!

Read Aloud With Us!

For Children, Parents, Guardians, and Teachers!

"Read Aloud" is a unique virtual reading initiative exposing early readers to books. These videos feature colorful and informative children’s books written primarily by African American authors and read by local community leaders. Most of the books were read and filmed in the historic Trenton Free Public Library Children's Room.
