Every Story Begins with a Dream
Reading Room Liberia is dedicated to inspiring a lifelong love of reading through beautifully illustrated children's books, engaging storytime experiences, and stories that celebrate Liberia's culture, history, and traditions. We believe every child deserves to see themselves reflected in the stories they read.
Our Story
Where Our Story Began
Reading Room Liberia was born from a simple but powerful dream: to create stories that help children discover the joy of reading while celebrating the beauty of Liberia.
Growing up, stories had a special way of bringing people together. They sparked imagination, preserved traditions, and passed wisdom from one generation to the next. Yet many children today have limited access to books that reflect their own culture, history, and everyday experiences.
Reading Room Liberia was created to help change that.
Our books are designed to encourage curiosity, build confidence, strengthen literacy skills, and inspire children to become lifelong readers. Every story is carefully crafted to entertain, educate, and remind children that their heritage, imagination, and dreams matter.
Whether a child is discovering their very first book or adding another adventure to their bookshelf, we hope every page opens the door to wonder, learning, and possibility.
Our Mission
Our mission is to nurture a love of reading in children by creating meaningful stories rooted in Liberian culture while making books engaging, accessible, and enjoyable for young readers everywhere.
We strive to inspire children to dream boldly, celebrate their identity, and discover that books have the power to change lives.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every Liberian child has access to books that celebrate their culture, encourage imagination, and inspire lifelong learning.
As Reading Room Liberia grows, our vision extends beyond publishing books. We dream of building welcoming reading spaces where children can gather to read, learn, explore, and develop a lifelong relationship with books.
Every story we publish brings us one step closer to making that vision a reality.
Bringing Stories to Life
Every story begins with a child... and someone willing to read it aloud.
Reading Room Liberia was created to inspire children to discover the joy of reading through stories that celebrate Liberia's culture, history, and traditions.
Every book we publish, every story we share, and every child we reach brings us one step closer to a future where every Liberian child grows up surrounded by books, imagination, and hope.

Hi, I'm Gwen.
Growing up in Liberia, stories were more than entertainment—they connected generations, preserved traditions, and inspired dreams.
Today, I'm honored to continue that tradition by creating books and Storytime experiences that help children discover the joy of reading while celebrating Liberia's beautiful culture and heritage.
My hope is simple:
That every child feels seen, every family enjoys reading together, and every story reminds young readers that they matter.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Miss Gwen
