Street Books Summer Launch: June 6, 11-1

It’s Street Books 12th Summer Season of providing bicycle-based library books and community to our neighbors living outside in Portland, Oregon. We want to celebrate! Support us by donating reading glasses, coloring books, graphic novels, and art supplies, (colored pencils and gel pens especially). These are popular with our library patrons! And of course, your financial support is always appreciated. To donate books, please consider purchasing from smaller, independent bookstores like Third Eye Books and Annie Bloom's Books. (We are not currently accepting hardback books due to the weight on the bikes and in people’s backpacks - thank you for understanding!)
