The initiative is dedicated to fostering a love of reading and learning for Black boys and young men. It offers storytelling experiences\, curated book selections\, signature events\, and mentorship from community leaders so that patrons are encouraged to view reading as a tool for self-discovery\, empowerment\, and lifelong success. \nAnother aspect of DML’s Reading Railroad Initiative is the Black Men Read–250 in 2025 Community Challenge. DML is calling on Black men across Montgomery County and beyond to inspire the next generation of readers by sharing the joy of storytelling with young children by becoming a “Reading Conductor” volunteer and/or logging their reading. Volunteers can read as a Hometown Hero guest\, at one of DML’s Branches\, to a loved one\, at a school\, out in the community\, etc.\, to spark curiosity\, foster a connection\, and help create a love of reading in DML’s communities. Sign up to read or log reading at DaytonMetroLibrary.org/ReadingRailroad\, where additional information about DML’s Reading Railroad can be found. \nFor more information about the Hometown Heroes Storytimes\, visit DaytonMetroLibrary.org or call the Library’s Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665.
