Young Readers Unite Book Club (Y.R.U.)
Founder Mar'Kisha Warrick

Young Readers Unite (Y.R.U.) was founded by Mar'Kisha Warrick. Mar’Kisha was inspired to start her own club after hearing her mother talk about how exciting being in a book club can be. She was particularly impressed with all the positive things her mother’s club does in the community.

With a newly found passion, Mar’Kisha realized that children and teens would greatly benefit from developing a love for reading. Her new passion prompted her to asked her mother if she could start a book club for children and teens.

After her mother, Takisha Tillie, Founder/President of Deep in Thought Book Club presented the idea to her club members, Deep in Thought Book Club accepted the honor of overseeing Young Readers Unite Book Club. Now a subsidiary of Deep in Thought Book Club, Y.R.U. opened its doors January 15, 2011 with great success.
