1. 2020 Autumn IBelongMagazine

Our friends, Ann and Ed Berlin, launched UE’s first student-led book club.

Ann and Ed Berlin are strong supporters of the Unified Efforts, Inc., Out of School Time Program

Throughout the years the Berlins have provided our students with “Meet the Author” events, books, in-store paid internships, and lots of love. While Ann grew up in Salt Lake City, Ed grew up on the west side of Baltimore and is a graduate of City College and UMBC. Both, however, are products of public schools. They developed their love of books while studying in school. The Berlins believe that books and learning are the keys to the kingdom. They open up a world of opportunity. The Berlins worked in New York before moving back to Baltimore. They operated an independent bookstore in Baltimore and have supported literary groups across the city.

We see clearly that books are for lovers, too!
