About Meagan W
Meagan found her power when she harnessed her love of reading to form a literary nonprofit organization that provides children’s books to young people across Ohio.
Growing up in Bexley, Ohio with hundreds of books and a parent who was a teacher, Meagan Warren solidified her love for reading at an early age. Meagan Warren found her power when she was exposed to underprivileged schools, realizing the stark differences in resources across classrooms in her community. Finding her spark for changemaking, she founded Books for Bedtime as a way to give students who lack access to books a chance to read at home and thrive in the classroom. As of April 2019, Meagan has donated over 86,000 books through schools that students can take home, and hopes to continue increasing this number.
