The Free Black Women's Library is an organization that hosts a mobile library based primarily in New York City, and is focused on sharing literature written by Black women. It was founded by the Nigerian American Ola Ronke Akinmowo in Brooklyn in 2015. HistoryThe library was founded by Ola Ronke Akinmowo in 2015. Initially, Akinmowo used social media to ask people to send her any books written by Black women. [1] After some weeks, Akinmowo received about 100 books for her project. The library's holdings grew to about 450 books in 2016,[2] and to about 1000 books in 2018.[3] One reason for this growth was because the library required visitors to donate a book in order to borrow them.[3]Akinmowo's work in developing this mobile library also served as inspiration for other mobile libraries focused on specific groups, such as Pilipinx American Library.[4] Pop-up librariesEvents through the Free Black Women's Library typically involve Akinmowo physically bringing the book collection to different places, such as street corners and community spaces. Initially, this was done using a bike trailer when the collection was small, but is now typically done by car with the help of friends or community groups.[2] The collection includes works from many authors, such as such as Octavia Butler, Audre Lorde, Monique W. Morris, Zora Neale Hurston, and Toni Morrison.[2] The organization hosts temporary libraries in different neighborhoods of New York City on a monthly basis, such as Bed-Stuy, and has also been present at the NY Art Book Fair.[5][6] It has also hosted libraries in other locations around the United States, such as in Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Detroit. In addition, the library hosts events such as film screenings, workshops and live performances.[3] The library continues to maintain a policy that visitors who come to the mobile library to take a book should also leave one written by a Black woman.[5] {{portal|African American|Nigeria|Feminism}}References1. ^{{cite news |last1=Atwell |first1=Ashleigh |title=Bed-Stuy Pop-Up Library Focuses On Black Women Writers |url=https://patch.com/new-york/bed-stuy/bed-stuy-pop-library-focuses-black-women-writers |accessdate=3 October 2018 |work=Bed-Stuy, NY Patch |date=28 February 2018}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news |last1=Bracy |first1=Emma |title=The Free Black Women’s Library gives away books and black girl magic |url=https://splinternews.com/the-free-black-women-s-library-gives-away-books-and-bla-1793862480 |accessdate=3 October 2018 |work=Splinter |date=5 October 2016}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite news |title=Pop-up library spotlights works by African-American women |url=http://brooklyn.news12.com/story/37368683/pop-up-library-spotlights-works-by-african-american-women |accessdate=3 October 2018 |work=NEWS12 Brooklyn |date=28 January 2018 |language=en}} 4. ^{{cite news |last1=Bai |first1=Stephanie |title=A bi-coastal pop-up library wants to introduce readers to Filipino-American literature |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/bi-coastal-pop-library-aims-introduce-readers-filipino-american-literature-n814766 |accessdate=3 October 2018 |work=NBC News |date=17 October 2017}} 5. ^1 {{cite news |last1=Greenberger |first1=Maximilíano Durón and Alex |title=All Booked Up: Printed Matter’s NY Art Book Fair Teems with Zines, Scenes, and Sanctuary |url=http://www.artnews.com/2018/09/21/ny-art-book-fair-2018-printed-matter-moma-ps1/ |accessdate=3 October 2018 |work=ARTnews |date=21 September 2018}} 6. ^{{cite news |last1=Cunniffe |first1=Eileen |title=The Free Black Women’s Library: Cultural Activism in Motion - Non Profit News {{!}} Nonprofit Quarterly |url=https://nonprofitquarterly.org/2018/09/25/the-free-black-womens-library-cultural-activism-in-motion/ |accessdate=3 October 2018 |work=NPQ |date=25 September 2018}} 3 : Mobile libraries|African-American organizations|Libraries in New York City |
