About
- a pop-up free book stand run by an all-volunteer mutual aid collective on the occupied indigenous land commonly known as Denver. We work in our community to get books and supplies in the hands of people who need and read them. We strive to provide a space for left politics of all stripes and work with organizations that are fighting to transform our world. We have no owners, bosses, or profit motive, and are committed to building a just world where all may live free of oppression and exploitation.
- looking for more volunteers to run the book stand, help prepare free food, and to help with administration, workshop/class planning, and bike and camping equipment repair. Fill out our volunteer interest form here!
- raising funds for rent, books, supplies and other operating expenses - please consider donating on our Open Collective page or @littlereadbooks on venmo!
- accepting donations of books and supplies, feel free to drop donations off at our free book stand during our operating hours or contact us at [email protected] to arrange for dropoff/pickup of large donations! Check out our wishlist here for suggestions of what to donate.
- on Bookshop.org - now you can support Little Read Books by buying new books at this link: bookshop.org/shop/littlereadbooks! We get 30% of all purchases made through our shop (any book, even ones found by searching), so keep that link bookmarked and support your local, volunteer-run free book collective when you buy books for yourself!
