The Fuller Cut Barber Shop in Ypsilanti, Michiganbelieves in living, working and staying in the community. They gives $2 discounts to kids who read books aloud to their barbers while they’re getting their hair done.
And a lot of the time those two bucks go directly into the kids’ pockets.
“Parents love it and the kids … well, they like getting the two dollars back,” Ryan Griffin, the barber at the Fuller Cut who brought the discount program to the shop, told The Huffington Post with a laugh. “We get compliments from teachers all the time, too.”The kids at the Fuller Cut don’t read any ol’ books, either. Because the shop caters to diverse communities, Griffin’s literary selection — which includes 75 to 100 rotating titles — has a very specific theme.“All our books have positive images of African-Americans — whether it’s astronauts, athletes or writers,” Griffin said. How amazing is the gift of reading you tell me? Dial-in 818-495-6975
