Bike Raffle Winner!

After a great fundraising event at New York Deli and a confusion over who the real "Barry" was, Devorah Barry emerged as the winner of the Books On Wheels bike raffle. Congratulations Devorah, and remember to thank Barry from the Deli for putting air in your tires. And Barry, we're really sorry for the confusion.

Thanks to New York Deli!

Thank you to David and Kevin and everyone at the New York Deli for hosting our benefit event last night. We raised money for our trip and had a really good time. Again, thanks to everyone for coming out on a Sunday night to support Books on Wheels. We are really stoked for our trip! Look for constant updates in the next few days as we continue to prepare to leave and stories from the road. Sweat!!

As one local put it: “That big brick of chocolate adorned with a silver ribbon of smoke.
AT HEART; We strive to be an accessible and dynamic venue for the exploration of the creative process, supporting the work of emerging artists, young and old, and working to actively dissolve social barriers, and bring people together through collaborative practices and programming in the arts."
