HOW IT ALL BEGAN

In a world of high-rises and fast-paced life, the Bronx was missing something fundamental—a community bookstore. The closure of the last Barnes & Noble left a void, a void too significant to ignore. Our founder, Latanya, took the wheel—quite literally. Armed with a vision and a white bus purchased on a shoestring budget, she rolled up her sleeves and, with the help of YouTube tutorials and invaluable community support, transformed it into a mobile wonderland of literature. Bronx Bound Books wasn't just born; it was built, wrench by wrench, book by book, by a community committed to uplifting diverse voices, promoting literacy, and making book ownership accessible to all.

TAKING LITERACY TO THE STREETS

Our Mobile Bookstore

Our mobile bookstore is more than a bus—it's a movement. We drive through neighborhoods in the Bronx, delivering diverse voices and stories directly to you. Each selection on our shelves is thoughtfully curated to match the events and communities we serve.

Our Mall Kiosk

Starting October 1st, 2023, we'll be launching a kiosk at The Mall at Bay Plaza! It’s a big step toward our dream of a brick-and-mortar bookstore and a testament to the power of community support.

EXPANDING OUR FOOTPRINT

BRICK AND MORTAR: OUR ULTIMATE DREAM

Our Future Goals

We envision a dedicated space where our community of readers can gather, engage, and thrive. While we're not there yet, each bus ride, kiosk visit, and book sold takes us one step closer.
