This is a great idea!! Thank you for the work you’re doing!
Do you accept book donations too?
This is, and you are, awesome. How can I help? Love, Q Center Librarian
Awwwwwesome. Let us think on that…much appreciation.
I am making a small donation. Also, I am a haunter of thrift shops and if there are specific used titles I can track down and buy (on my own dime) for you, please let me know. Books can –and do– change lives!
Do you accept donations of physical books as well, I have many wonderful books that could use some new readers.
Fantastic idea! I am so moved by what you are doing. Thank you so much for nourishing folks this way.
Your such a good person, I hope you’ve noticed yourself. I’ve been bloging about Portland freegans, and am about to tag your website. Thank you for being a part of this unique community.
Thanks so much, Sierra. Have you seen Travis Shields short film about Street Books? It is wonderful. He has also done a short called, “Meet the Freegans”. Again, wonderful. Thanks for your kind words (I know they were meant for Laura…still)
Thanks so much all for your interest in Street Books and your desire to help us. Currently, we are inundated with books…we are trying to establish a sort of storage arrangement (in Old Town would be ideal). We are also trying to figure out a book donation protocol. For now, we encourage people to mail donations to our PO Box (Street Books, PO Box 13642, Portland, OR 97213). Taking donations at the cart can be difficult… We will keep you posted!
I come from a family of book lovers and when I read the Street Roots article about your project, I sent a copy to my mother in Florida, knowing she would be moved. She was, and she recently shipped me a box of books for you, things she’s picked up at book sales and thrift stores and such. The titles she didn’t recognize she researched on the internet to see if they seemed like things that would be appropriate. Now I have linked her to the list of requested books, I know she will keep the list close at hand and make it a quest. And now I also know where to send the box I have, I will do that this week. Thanks for the inspiration.
