HOW IT WORKS

  1. Come find us! We post our pop-up locations on Instagram and here on our website.

  2. Check-outs: Limit to one adult book + one kid lit per person per event. When you check out, we’ll get your contact info and you’ll receive an automated reminder ~two weeks out. This serves as a gentle nudge to check our calendar for upcoming pop-ups!

  3. Returns: To return your book, simply find us at a pop-up or mail it in (USPS Media Mail costs ~$4.63; address below). Returns are based on the honor system ◡̈

The Refaat Mobile Library is sending 100% of all proceeds given to refaatlibraryatl via Venmo to Gaza Funds, a mutual aid project that connects people to crowdfunding campaigns for individuals and families from Gaza.

Send at least $10 and we’ll ship you a postcard and bookmark designed by Palestinian artists exclusively for our library. Simply DM your mailing address and a screenshot of your payment to our IG account, @refaatlibraryatl.

How we choose each campaign: Each time the page is reloaded on GazaFunds.com, a different campaign appears. While the rotation is randomized, campaigns for the sick/injured and campaigns close to meeting their goals are prioritized. The library donates all Venmo/Cash App transactions to whichever campaign is spotlighted when we visit the site at time of donation so that your contributions can be distributed to many in urgent need.
