STREET BOOKS! The two-wheeled library bringing books to people living outside.
This month's Bike Show: STREET BOOKS!
Founded in June, 2011, Street Books is a bicycle-powered mobile library, serving people who live outside here in Portland, Oregon. Patrons are issued an official Street Books library card without being required to show proof of address or identification. Using an old-school library pocket and a card that patrons sign, patrons stop by to check out and return library books during the three weekly shifts on the east and west sides of Portland.
This month we’re joined by Diana Rempe, the current Street Books East-side librarian and Ben Hodgson, board member of Street Books and curator of the Street Books Underground Library collection.
