Barbershop Books puts 15 books —all picked by kids — in each of the dozens of barbershops, mostly in black neighborhoods, across the country. Irby, who just turned 33, says he’s hoping to help black children identify themselves as readers. That means, first and foremost, that reading should be fun.
