One of our ongoing projects is to install Little Free Libraries throughout New York City, with a particular focus on NYCHA residences and book deserts. These libraries ensure that everyone has 24/7 access to books and allow people to donate their own books to share with neighbors. So far, we’ve installed 25 libraries.
When we initially fill up each library, we prioritize kids, middle-grade, and young adult books written by people of color. It’s important to amplify these voices—and it’s important for kids to see themselves in a story. We also prioritize books about anti-racism, Black liberation, and the abolition of police and prisons. We believe in education, not incarceration; we fully support defunding the police and reinvesting in education and community programs.
Some ways to help:
– Venmo @RollingLibrary to fund building & installing future libraries
– Donate books via our Astoria Bookshop wishlist
– Help keep libraries near you stocked (we can provide books!)
– Tell us where we should install more! (therollinglibrary@gmail.com)
