New Haven Reads

Thank you to our friends at Hamden Soccer Association for having us last weekend! We gave away over 300 books to players and their families.

Join our friends at IRIS - Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services for an evening with the GNHCC - Greater New Haven Community Chorus as they lift up voices of welcome, peace, and hope in support of IRIS and our food pantry.

We had a great day at the The Elm City Freddy Fixer Parade where we handed out almost 1,200 books along the parade route! It was amazing to see so many familiar faces. We are already looking forward to next year!

💙It's new book giveaway time at NHR!🧡 Twice a year our students get to choose brand new books to take home to add to their home libraries. The students at our Science Park location are super happy with their choices.

During students at all our locations worked with their tutors on creating a "Helping Hand" drawing for their tutor. Our students were able to show how much they appreciate their tutors.💙🧡

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Our friends at Brightly put together a wonderful list of books to help share Asian cultures through stories.

13 Books for Kids That Celebrate Asian Cultures | Brightly There are some truly great books out there about the various Asian cultures for young readers — almost all with a focus on family and food.

New Haven Reads would like to wish everyone a safe and healthy Memorial Day.
