Lynn Washington
Board Member
Lynn has a passion for encouraging people to read. As graphic Design Supervisor for the Free Library of Philadelphia, she created exhibits to attract new audiences. As founder and owner of the multicultural, Germantown-based bookstore “Books & Stuff,” she celebrated the power of reading stories about all races and cultures. In an October 2020 interview in Grid magazine, Lynn said, “Illiteracy traps people in a cycle of poverty. It limits your life choices. It’s difficult to achieve social mobility, to move up in your life….Libraries are important but the other important thing is children having their own books, their own reading material.” She’s hopeful that One Little Earth’s focus on providing books to underserved kids will help address this pressing problem.
