Library Services
Street Books operates dozens of bike-based & place-based libraries and librarian services for people experiencing houselessness and/or living at the margins.
Our weekly bike-based library shifts transform the sidewalks and reclaim public space, providing an environment for folks to hang out, talk about books, and exist beyond just survival.
We partner with community-based organizations to provide curated bookshelves at their sites, enhancing their services and patrons’ access to books.
We meet people where they are, literally.
Not just books:
Our librarians show up at the same places every week to provide consistent contact and create a caring community. We bring reading glasses, flashlights, notebooks, writing supplies, art supplies, puzzle books and more.
