About —

Exploring diversity one book at a time.

Baltimore Read Aloud is an independent bookstore and social enterprise. We promote and sell diverse books for children and adults.

Baltimore Read Aloud desires to be more than a bookstore. The goal is to raise the profile of diverse literature and literacy for all children and youth in Baltimore City and surrounding communities. Through book drives, author and illustrator events, and literacy-focused and family-focused activities, we want all children and youth in the greater Baltimore region to embrace literature and literacy, a starting point for self-expression and advocacy.
