Press & Impact
Cultured Books Literacy Foundation annually connects over 700 families with local and national authors, fostering a vibrant community around literary arts.
Through our seasonal programming, annual St. Pete Reads! Literacy Festival, we inspire a love of reading, motivate engagement with literary arts, and introduce families to enriching programs.
Each year, youth and families meet celebrated authors and illustrators such as Winsome Bingham, Derrick Barnes, Nicole D. Collier, Greg Neri, Anastasia Magloire Williams, and Jerry Craft, creating lasting memories and sparking a passion for stories and culture.
