The Book is Here!

Our book, Loaners: The Making of a Street Library, hit the shelves this week. We were lucky to have stellar writer Omar El Akkad lead a conversation about the book, (you can watch the recording of the Powell’s virtual event if you missed it). You can also read an excerpt of the book at LitHub. One of the most amazing, heartening parts of this book release is the number of folks who have ordered an extra copy to go free of charge to our library patrons on the street. It has been really incredible to be able to seek people out and give them their copy. The response from patrons has been overwhelmingly positive. Even Jeff, an extra-discerning-somewhat-curmugeonly reader gives it two thumbs up. You can order the book here.

As you have no doubt noticed, this website is not updated as often as it should be - we are in the process of revamping the whole system. But there are very active updates on our social media channels, so you’re always welcome to follow our work on Facebook or Instagram. Thank you as always for supporting the work we do at Street Books. We couldn’t do it without you.
