Happy Saturday!! For those that might be new to this page/project, The Free Black Women’s Library has existed since 2015. I started it with a collection of 100 books on a Bedstuy brownstone stoop and as it grew I would take the collection of books to different locations every month. I would set up the books by genre and author in any place that would have me!! By 2017 I had almost three thousand books. 😮🎉 I would trade books with people all day long and also lead free literary workshops and discussions inspired by the work of the writers in the collection. As a nerdy book loving introvert it was both challenging and fun. It still is!! Now we have our own shop to gather in not just monthly but every weekend!! Location: 226 Marcus Garvey Blvd, Brooklyn Come through!! I’m still interested in the mobile aspect of this project as I feel that is also part of its charm, taking the books to the people!! I hope to acquire a van or bus in 2023 so the monthly pop ups can still go on, the main collection would stay at the Reading Room with a smaller collection going all over the city and beyond. If anyone wants to donate or buy a van or small bus for us please feel free to do so!! 😏📚🚌📚🚌😏 This is a grassroots community funded project!! Thank you so much to my Patreon patrons their funding is what supports the growth and sustainability of this work!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 PS This reel is kinda corny and has way too many gifs in it but idc lol 😂🤷🏾‍♀️ #booklovers #librarylove #blackfeministpraxis #socialart #publicpractice #communitybuilding #bibliophiles #mobilelibrary #bookswap #literarylife #readingchangesminds #blackbookstagram #freeblackwomenslibrary #thefreeblackwomenslibrary #memories #tfbwlarchives #readingrainbow #TFBWL
