Thank you to everybody who came to our Street Books party in June. So many folks turned out for the revelry, ate pizza and tacos, drank cold drinks and celebrated our community. We are so grateful for you.
This week we're tracking the factors that make living on the streets more difficult and dangerous. This includes the recent Supreme Court ruling in Grants Pass v. Johnson, (read founder Laura Moulton's opinion piece in the Oregonian on Sunday) as well as the scorching temperatures (find resources here and here, and please spread the word to others who may need relief from the heat).
Our librarians will be out on bicycles as usual this week, distributing books, water and supplies for surviving the heat. Thank you for supporting our work.
Grab your bike and join us on August 7th for an evening of celebrating bikes, books, and community. Along the way there will be local author book giveaways, opportunities to learn about Street Books, and a community book exchange at the end of the ride. Bring a book you'd love to share and leave with a new-to-you one! Adults, kids, adults who act like kids, kids who act like adults...everyone is welcome! Join us for the ride or meet us at the end for a book exchange. Visit the Pedalpalooza calendar for more information.
