Bookmobile Babe at Paseo Festival

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Bookmobile Babe

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 1 person is interested

Join the Bookmobile Babe at Portland Parks Foundation's Paseo Festival! We'll have scheduled story times where we read books by underrepresented authors. You can lead a story time if you're up for it but that is not required!
We will also have an assortment of donated books to give away, and will also be accepting donations of books to distribute at our Summer Reading Camp and other events we do!
If you're passionate about getting kids excited about reading, we'd love to hear from you and have your help at this event!! It's going to be a blast, and this is a great excuse to check out the festival!
Check out our website to learn more about us and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

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.
