Our Story
A literary movement.
The main aim of Our Bookshelf is to make free books and reading available and accessible in public spaces that are frequented by all sectors of society, regardless of socio-economic status.
Our Bookshelf is not only a central sharing and distribution point for the exchange of books, but each Bookshelf is stocked with children’s books in languages that are local to the region/ city in which it is located.
