Streets & parks

The library comes to the curb.

A van of free books — kids’ shelves, large print, and a crate that changes every week.

What we do

Stops

A public timetable, rain or shine.

Schools

A crate left, a crate collected.

Donations

Sorted, not dumped.

No card required

Take a book. Bring one back if you can. Free Book Mobile is a curb, not a bureaucracy.

Large print & kids first

The shelf that actually empties.

Donation sorting

Clean paperbacks. We will not take a wet garage.

Who this is for

Families

Who cannot reach a central library during its hours.

Schools

Who want a crate, not a celebrity reader once a year.

Donors

Of clean books, not of branding.

About Free Book Mobile

We park on a published map, stay two hours, and do not ask for a card. Donations of clean paperbacks keep the shelves moving.

A van of free books — kids’ shelves, large print, and a crate that changes every week.

Free Book Mobile will not become an app. The van is the product.

A safe curb and a toilet nearby make a stop possible. So does shade.

Where is the map?
