Books of Hope is a
literacy empowerment program that brings creative writing workshops to
at-risk urban and immigrant youth in the communities where they live,
aiming to foster and promote the next generation of youth authors. To do
this, we engage youth ages 13-25 in creative writing, performance,
publishing, and entrepreneurship and provide opportunities to be
mentored by professional writers, performers, creative designers, and
educators.

Somerville Public Library is one of ten public libraries across the United States to be selected as a StoryCorps
@ your library pilot site. Through this project we aim to record the
voices of a diverse mix of Somerville residents and to capture their
stories, thoughts, and ideas.

Interested in participating in StoryCorps? Please contact the Teen
Room at 617-623-5000 x2936 or email Maria Carpenter at
mcarpenter@somervillema.gov.
