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.
