A Street Librarian’s Quest to Bring Books to Everyone | Storybook Maze | TED
As a self-proclaimed radical street librarian, Storybook Maze makes books appear where they’re scarce. Through initiatives like free, public book vending machines and street corner story times, she eliminates book deserts — or areas with limited access to literature — by making books accessible for children in underserved communities. (And in case you’re wondering, she…

In many of these areas, digital access is just as limited. Even if they have a computer or phone, the cost or availability of data to download books can be an issue.

The story of the librarian started on a hot day when she grabbed a book to read it to her nieces. Other children pop up and asked her to read other stories. Then she encouraged them to read books at their homes. They told her they had no books at home. She learned about a new concept called ‘book deserts,’ which refers to areas with limited access to books. She then got a job at a library store, but she discovered that the childrenhe came there weren’t the same she met at the stoop. She quit her job and began giving away books on the streets. She shared statistics, revealing that in some areas in Philadelphia there is only one book for every 300 children. She also recounted stories of people giving away books for free in other areas using mules and horses, even in harsh weather conditions like snow. In the end, she advised the audience on how to start this concept, give away books, and stay in touch with neighbors to understand their needs better.”
I hope these corrections help clarify the text! Let me know if you need further assistance.

Books are composed collections of knowledge and information that everyone should indeed have access to but the problem is that technology has dumbed us down that we don’t read much anymore. Ask any Gen Z kids and they don’t read let alone open a book. They’re becoming illiterate every single year

I used to have a pretty big children’s library with around 300 books. But when we moved abroad I was forced to leave all of these books in my home country because delivery is really expensive. And that’s so pitiful… but I bought an eBook Pocketbook for my daughter so she can read books in her native language. I also read to my kids aloud every evening from my phone. We go to book bazaars as well, buy books in ordinary bookshops, and of course, get them in the school library. Sometimes we read ebooks on the kid’s Internet sites. Yeah, I like books 😃 however what about me I read only eBook, not paper versions

Great TED talk. I would love to see some other programs devoted to a portion of their existing volunteers to do this. Like AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps. Foundations like the Gates Foundation find themselves with a bunch of money leftover at the end of years where their money in the stock market has grown such that they have trouble spending the percentage of their funds that all foundations are required to spend.

This was one of the most inspirational, heartwarming and eye opening presentations I’ve heard in a long time. Really, thank you so much…Unlike you, I’m very much of a coward. I realize it now when i listen to this. My family isn’t exactly financially stable, so I’m trying to first get a job that provides money first and am in the process of it that i don’t have the courage to risk it and go outside and do this right now. Poverty is a major issue here and i hope more and more people, who can help others like this, do so and help our world grow into a better place. Oh Also, the pack horse library! I never knew about that part of our history! It’s so inspiring and such an amazing legend! Their courage and commitment just like yours! Man, i love all of you guys
