Tree House Books

Tree House Books Tree House Books is growing & sustaining a community of readers, writers, and thinkers in Philadelphia, PA

Tree House Books is a literacy center and Giving Library based in North Philadelphia serving children and families. Our programs move beyond strictly academics to include a social, emotional, and cultural focus. In addition to providing access to a wide variety of books, we foster healthy attitudes towards reading and help our participants expand their self-concept through awareness of the opportu

nities reading provides. We also engage the community in holistic literacy activities that reflect our community’s rich ethnic, racial, and cultural heritage, giving us deeper access to examining issues that are relevant to our lives. We believe that students deserve an opportunity to read their way into their futures.

Are we still doing Throwback Thursdays? These archives are too good for us not to share 🤩

Tree House Books turns 21 this year that's older than the show Hannah Montana, let that sink in...

What's so exciting about the plot twists we have on our horizon is the amazing history we have to look back on.

Every child deserves the opportunity to discover the joy of reading.

A love of reading starts with a single story.

Reading for pleasure helps children build imagination, confidence, creativity, empathy, communication skills, and a lifelong love of learning.

Reading with a child for 10 minutes a day can kick-start a life-changing habit.

That’s why Raising Readers is encouraging everyone to make reading for enjoyment part of children’s daily lives.

The story you share today may become part of their story tomorrow.
