“Loaners: The Making of a Street Library” Reading and Book Offer (Nov. 15)

October 23, 2023

Street Books is a vibrant mobile library that serves Portlanders living outside, and Loaners is the story of how that library came to be and fostered a friendship between founder Laura Moulton and one of the library’s most regular clients, Ben Hodgson. Co-authors Moulton and Hodgson will be at the UP Bookstore on November 15, 2023, 7:15 p.m., to offer a reading from Loaners, talk about the making of the book and the library, and answer your questions.

All are welcome, and copies of Loaners are available to any interested members of the UP community—just email Molly Hiro (hiro@up.edu). This event is co-sponsored by the Public Research Fellows and the English Department.
