Culture Books is a non-profit 501(c3) run by Erica Richardson, M.Ed, a former teacher turned Librarian who, within her 13+ years in education, saw that many of the books provided did not have diverse representation or any cultural exposure in them. Culture Books was created to bridge the gap between culture and literacy, through cultural events, book giveaways and showcasing the passions of diverse authors.
