Our Story
New Millennium Books sprouted from humble beginnings on a college campus in Lansing, MI, in 2014. We recognized a crucial gap in the literary world – a lack of representation for underserved communities. This realization sparked our journey to become more than just a bookseller; we became a catalyst for change in the world of literature.
Our Mission
At New Millennium Book Distributor, we’re on a mission to nurture young minds and enrich lives through the power of diverse literature. In addition to “growing young minds through reading,” we strive to:
- Provide information, adventure, and education to underserved youth and adults
- Showcase stories and heroes that reflect the diversity of our readers
- Expose children and adults to both everyday and extraordinary experiences
- Offer knowledge and educational resources to everyone
- Highlight African American literature and the African Diaspora worldwide
- Celebrate stories and adventures from cultures across the globe
