“Founded by Kristina Kearns, Ourshelves was inspired by all the talk of the publishing industry’s impending death and Kearns’ personal desire to preserve books. ‘I wanted to create something between a bookshop and a library,’ Kearns said.”
Today, Mission Mission announced Kearns’ plans for “10 free sister libraries in safe houses, shelters, and student centers around San Francisco, with personalized collections based on the requests of residents.” (We wrote about the emergence of micro-libraries in July.)
