Bound Through Books

Posted by

·

After the last brick-and-mortar bookstore in the Bronx closed in 2016, Latanya DeVaughn quit her job and used her savings to buy a bus and open a mobile bookstore on wheels for the area neighborhoods – Bronx Bound Books. She even visits schools regularly to give away donated used and new books for free!

She believes that everyone should have access to great books, especially ones with characters that look like them and face issues relevant to them. DeVaughn wants people to feel seen and open their minds through the books she offers. Amazing impact!
