Mapping public bookcases, part 3

Posted by gvwaal on 10/14/2023

I surveyed most of Seward’s avenues today, but what I’m most excited about is having finished surveying the three streets I was least excited about (9th St S, Franklin Ave E, and Minnehaha Ave S), leaving calmer streets for the rest of the project.

Unsurprisingly, I found few public bookcases (PBs) today. I believe this is due to the non-single family home nature of the roads surveyed, and in the roads lined with single family homes, the economic conditions of the inhabitants.

Shoutout to the Feminist Book Club for being the only non-residential entity (witnessed so far) to host a PB.
