Amazing Traveling Bookstore

Not doing a great job keeping up with posts while on the road with the traveling bookstore. But lots of great adventures and thoroughly enjoying this Southern tour. travelingbookstore.wordpress.com

I live in Baltimore now. Can you email or text me your schedule and let’s make this happen?

You’re going to be in Baltimore?!

Or folks who say “I need to keep ordering from Amazon because it is the easiest.”

Perched in winter Yes, I am reading books. I am also gathering books. And because this weather isn’t the best for organizing the traveling bookstore, there are bags and boxes of books in my apartment waiting t…

There is a lot going on. Trying to keep a balance and be productive in any way I possibly can.

I tend to dither about posting here. So much going wrong in the country and world, and I keep doing the traveling bookstore thinking maybe some will read a book or have a conversation or get an idea that will help turn the tide. travelingbookstore.wordpress.com

Did you know there was a video game about a traveling bookstore? That was today’s surprise for me. Just another wonder when set up at the Overlea farmers market.

All things print When Thomas Little gave a presentation in Baltimore this summer, he spoke about the importance of ink. How everyday we use ink whether we are reading something physically printed like a book or new…

So glad over 7 million took to the streets. But obviously we still need more.

Passing on skills to younger generations. Essential for both the skills and the conversations that happen in the process.

Maryland Humanities’ One Maryland One Book has “Kin: Rooted in Hope” as the 2025 selection. Great choice! Has so many people discussing the ideas and history. Get a copy. #mdhumanities #OMOB

Wednesday during rush hour, no one is taking a nap. Instead we are out on the streets protesting. #baltimore

I want to think children reading holds hope for the future.

Times shift It is one of those mornings when I could write pages about the traveling bookstore and life, but I will try to keep it contained. Let’s start with upcoming bookstore events: Tuesday, Septembe…

Updates on events and other parts.

Lots happening with the traveling bookstore. Fortunately a Portland friend came to visit. We experienced the Maryland Center for History and Culture, and American Visionary Art museum. Protested with a Wednesday group. Made turmeric anthotypes. Photo of part of that process.

September happenings The month is starting with a bang as the weather is lovely and perhaps schools back in session encourage people to think more about books. Upcoming traveling bookstore events in the next few weeks …

More from a traveling bookstore owner/operator.

Vance is such a joke. Can he go anywhere without armed guards? Does anyone really like him?

Anthotype Let’s start with a summary of upcoming bookstore events so you don’t miss out. I imagine you might need more books by this point in the summer, and we all could use some good conversati…

Update from Baltimore where thankfully we don’t have troops at the moment.

This is so unacceptable.

So many stories I suppose it is no surprise I am completely enamored with stories. Not only do I have a traveling bookstore that contains volumes of stories (plus all the other ones sitting in boxes and shelves in…

With all the hard things happening, a joy to attend a naturalization ceremony. travelingbookstore.wordpress.com/2025/08/13/s...

Why do you keep doing it? Brooklyn Book Festival, 2016 I often get asked this question after someone has asked me how long I’ve been doing the traveling bookstore. It has been on the road eleven years now. I keep doin…

All sorts of ways to help- like encouraging people to read with their kids, or grandkids, or neighbor kids.

A hard day with that bill passing. We won’t give up. We won’t step back.

July is International zine month and the traveling bookstore now officially carries zines. Check it out along with awesome used books, ink made from guns and bookstore swag. Setting up July 5 from 8:30-12:30 at Overlea Farmers Market in Baltimore.

Sweltering Being based out of Baltimore now gives me opportunities to expand my weather-related vocabulary. When I lived in northwest Montana, if I wrote about the weather, it often described the depths of wi…

There’s always a story. Hopefully we remember the valuable ones.
