Their mission: to grow a sense of community through shared books.
The New West Pop-Up Library project got off to a good start on Sunday, Oct. 12 with a successful launch event at River Market.
Visitors turned out to check out the "leave-a-book, take-a-book" swap event, which featured 1,000 books donated by the Kindlers Society. They also had a chance to check out the adoptable libraries - three-shelf "homes" for books that were built during summer community workshops and that will be taking up residence around New Westminster.
The project is being spearheaded by the Fox siblings, Alexa, Isaac and Quentin, who got funding through a Neighbourhood Small Grant from the Vancouver Foundation.
