The Joseph and Chantal Tamno Books Foundation is committed to advancing literacy equity by providing access to books, fostering STEM exploration, and offering mentorship to positively impact the lives of children in our communities.
Read Aloud Sessions
The foundation partners with acclaimed children's book authors to host interactive Read Aloud sessions for children. After each session, participating scholars receive a signed copy of the featured book from the author, helping them build a meaningful and personal In-Home Library, a cornerstone of our literacy mission.
Authors for Justice
"Authors for Justice: Dialogues That Move Us" brings together authors whose work explores justice, identity, equity, and the lived experiences of marginalized communities. Through intimate conversations and public forums, these dialogues center literature as a catalyst for empathy, understanding, and social change.
International Libraries
Through our partnership nonprofit organizations serving African countries, the foundation works to supports the development of sustainable libraries in Africa, expanding access to books and educational resources.
