<p dir="ltr">Hi librarians, <br>
If you haven't heard of Street Books, it's inspiring. (A <br>
Bicycle powered lending library for people who live outside!) If you have and you want to clean out your home paperback collection, this event is for you.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cheers,<br>
Emily</p>

We had a busy fall, beginning with our annual Street Books reception, on September 13th. This year it was held at <a href="http://streetbooks.createsend1.com/t/y-l-jhukidk-eihtihlg-s/" style="color:#2f82de;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">Bud Clark Commons</a>. Street Books board member Amy Dennis provided homemade cornbread, beans and salad, and Street Books patron Mark Hubbell did a reading from his favorite Ray Bradbury story. It was a lovely turnout, and we thank everyone who gave their time and energy to make it happen. There are a few exciting raffle items left from the event, so please see the bottom of this newsletter for details.*</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px">
Street Books founder Laura Moulton traveled to New York City in November to accept an Innovations in Reading award from the National Book Foundation. The award is given each year to organizations around the United States who make reading & literature more accessible to underrepresented communities. She also had the opportunity to give a presentation about Street Books to an audience at the Ford Foundation. It was a great honor, and a chance to spread the world about Portland's unique street library.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px">
In December, we had a <a href="http://streetbooks.createsend1.com/t/y-l-jhukidk-eihtihlg-g/" style="color:#2f82de;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">nice write-up in the Portland Tribune</a> by Julia Silverman.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px">
We are not currently operating weekly library shifts through the wettest part of winter, but look for our shifts to begin in late spring/summer. There are plans to expand to three shifts per week, and to cross over to Portland's east side. More on that soon.</p>
