The Literary Freedom Project is committed to creating spaces that help readers reconnect to books. Our programs value the variety of cultures found in the Bronx and give people places to come together, build community, and explore histories. We believe that by providing spaces to talk about our culture, we’re rebuilding communities of booklovers.
LFP presents One Book One Bronx, develops literature-based lesson plans & workshops, publishes Mosaic, and hosts the Mosaic Literary Conference.
