Street Books finds a new [temporary] home at Field Work

Update #2 · Sep 24, 2011 · comment

Laura and I took a lovely meandering bike ride through Old Town China Town in search of a suitable winter library spot.  With the impending rain, we thought best - in the short term - to utilize shelter that already exists.  We eyed some cozy awnings and are thinking on some spots both indoors and under bridges.

We also moved the Street Books library from its summer home at Mercy Corp to its early Autumn mooring at Fieldwork.  We are hard at work to find a permanent winter home for our library, our books and our entire operation.

Thanks to each of you for helping us make the winter library a reality!
