Founded in 2024 by Main Street Book’s owners Ellen and Andy Hall, and their daughter Emily Schroen, the Main Street Books Literacy Foundation donates new books to elementary schools with students from low income families in St. Charles County. The Halls and fellow founding board member Shana Youngdahl discuss the nonprofit’s origins, and its approach to providing access to book ownership and related experiences that engender positive reading habits to last a lifetime.
