Red Brick Poetry Free Library

Here at Red Brick Poetry we value literacy and access. We believe in making a difference in the world starting right at home in our neighborhood by offering not just free poetry but an active free library so that people can read as much as they like unbound by cost. 
We originally thought we could accomplish this with our book bench, but over the last four years we have realized we need to upgrade our library to something made with more durable materials that was also very recyclable. 

After some research and feedback from our community we have settled on a red recycled newpaper rack from Impact Racks. The new rack will sit on the wall exactly where the bench was and offer the same lovely selection of  thirty percent kids books and seventy percent adult books--all for the public and donated by the public.

Will you help us make this new library a reality? We certainly hope so!!

Update #2

January 16th, 2025

Hello everyone!! I was able to sell the Red Brick Book Bench for $100 so all that money is going toward this purchase!! As a result I was able to lower the goal here to $400 which feels much more doable. 
Thanks so much to all those who have donated to this project you have my sincerest gratitude. This not only blesses my life by being able to give books to my community but it shows me the generosity and love you all have for me and so many others in this community. 

The gift of access to books is not one I take lightly. Pretty soon I'll be able to order this new book library and that will be awesome!! Almost there!!

Thanks to all of your generosity we are 36% to the goal!! 

As soon as the funds are secured I will be contacting Impact Racks to talk to them about the specifics of the order and so on.  

So far I have had no bites on selling the book bench. I have it listed on FB Marketplace, at least two groups, and Craig's List. I am hoping it sells soon.

Keep checking in because with your support we will reach the goal in no time!!!
