About Project LIT
Project LIT (Literature In The) Community began in Nashville, created by English teacher, Jarred Amato. It has since become a nationwide initiative. The Project Lit movement strives to empower readers and leaders across the country by providing access to books about and written by Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) authors, facilitating conversations about the representation of BIPOC groups in literacy, and fostering the love of reading.
As a Project LIT chapter, Warren County Public Library in partnership with other organizations select books to host periodic free book giveaways paired with author meet and greet opportunities.
