Come celebrate the second print run of Loaners: The Making of a Street Library, by Ben Hodgson and Laura Moulton. This co-written memoir tells the story of how Street Books (Portland’s bike-powered mobile library for people living outside) was created and traces Hodgson’s journey from the streets back into an apartment. Writer Rene Denfeld has called Loaners “illuminating and powerful,” and writer Pete Rock says it is “the most heartening, encouraging book I’ve read in years.”

Hodgson and Moulton will read from the book, answer questions and host a conversation that explores more compassionate responses to people living on the streets of Portland.
