What is Bronx Bound Books?Bronx Bound Books is a community-focused initiative that seeks to bring books to every corner of the Bronx. We operate as a mobile bookstore, and we are launching a kiosk at The Mall at Bay Plaza on October 1st., 2023. Our long-term dream is to open a brick-and-mortar bookstore in the Bronx to fill the gap of the closure of Barnes & Noble years ago at The Mall at Bay Plaza. Our ongoing mission is to promote literacy, diverse voices, and book ownership for all communities.
