LiVING LiBRARIES
Unlock your unlimited potential! Transforming kids ages 4 to 14 into Superhuman learners and leaders with The LiLi Key.
A Message From Our Founder
Walk Through the Open Doors
It's wonderful to know how much has happened at Living Libraries since we officially launched in October of 2019. Our book The LiLi Key is already in second edition thanks and is now bilingual, thanks to feedback from many of the almost 2000 LiLis in 46 states and Guam who participated in our pilot. The LiLi Key is stronger than ever and it is redefining what it means to read for fun in the 21st century. Children ages 4 to 14 who self-identify as Living Libraries use their LiLi Key necklaces to unlock books which fills the many living books inside them. Our data shows self-esteem among LiLis is on the rise, as is empathy, leadership and connection to the community.
Thanks to a grant from PNC Foundation we have produced The PreLi Key, a bilingual prequel to The LiLi Key that helps get younger kids ready for when it's their turn to transform into LiLis. We also have also published 6 graphic novels and are hard at work with an awesome group of creative children on a new, fun series geared at 3rd through 6th grade boys.
Our LiYo Literacy Yoga Fusion online teachable platform is in full swing, and we often offer FREE certifications to teach LiYo. This school year we plan to scale our LiYo programs to train and support teachers in 10 schools, reaching a 6,500 children with our Power READING tools and techniques.
Living Libraries had become a part of the Books with Color, Inc. Authors Alliance Network and we enjoy reading our 9 books in classrooms. Here's to another amazing school year!
With Immense Love and Gratitude,
