These selections of books feature Black characters and authors that Lynn donates brand new to Tree House Books for distribution in our community.

Additionally\, Lynn has been a force for Black children’s literacy throughout her life – making her a deserving Champion! \nUpon receiving the news that she was getting this award\, Ms. Washington stated\, “Tree House Books and Books & Stuff are on the same page! I am honored to have my efforts acknowledged by this important community organization.” \nMore about Lynn Washington: \nFor 28 years her job as the Design Studio Supervisor at The Free Library of Philadelphia was to create print materials and exhibits with the goal of informing\, encouraging and promoting literacy. She also began selling books and gift items on weekends at Uhuru Flea Market. \nUnderstanding that having their own home library was as important to a child’s literacy development as belonging to a public library. And also wanting to provide an opportunity for adults to purchase\, quality\, high priced books at a significant discount; Lynn would open Books & Stuff in Germantown in 2015. \nDuring the 5 years as a brick and mortar she met many like minded customers who would become collaborators in the mutual effort to encourage literacy\, particularly among the youth populations in Philly. \nSince closing her shop and going online in 2020 she’s continued to enjoy creating ways to promote literacy online\, vending at events and expanding partnerships with organizations like Tree House Books\, by providing them with the books and stuff they need to continue our mutual goal of encouraging literacy in Philly! \n\nMore about the event: \nThe evening will also be filled with food and samplings of Victory beers\, live musical entertainment\, a silent auction\, and special guests.
