Join the Bookmobile Babe at the PDX Night Market!
We'll be hosting our usual book exchange where families are encouraged to select a free book (or more!) to take home from our selection of donated books. We have donated books for all age ranges and families are encouraged to bring books to donate as well.
We'll also be spreading the word about what we do - highlighting our Summer Reading Camp on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Lents Park where we highlight books from underrepresented communities and authors with read-alouds and crafts centered around the week's theme.
We'll also be selling some merchandise and collecting monetary donations towards a NEW bookmobile!
Check out our website to learn more about us and contact us if you're interested in joining us at the PDX Night Market! The Night Market is such a fun community event, and if you sign up for a 2 hour shift you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the festivities during, before and after your shift!

Mission Statement
Bookmobile Babe is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that aims to promote the love of literacy to underserved populations in the Portland, Oregon metro area.
Description
A small group of book lovers and teachers got together in 2018 once we learned that the Multnomah County Library had lost its funding for a bookmobile. We then decided to start our own! We began doing book exchanges with kids so that they get our books and we get theirs! We offer a free summer reading camp to kids ages 0-18 at Lents Park, Columbia and Gateway Discovery parks every summer in partnership with PPR's Free Lunch + Play Program. We believe in offering free literature that expresses diversity in all forms. We support authors and readers of all ages, colors, cultures, backgrounds, and abilities.Bookmobile Babe has also distributed around 2000 free books each year to children for the past 6 years.
