Community Book Shelf at George Floyd Square, Minneapolis

The Community Book Shelf stands at George Floyd Square, located at the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis. This community-driven initiative functions as a free exchange, allowing individuals to donate and borrow books. It emerged as part of the informal memorials and community infrastructure established in the wake of the 2020 Minneapolis Uprising and the murder of George Floyd. The bookshelf serves as a symbol of collective action and mutual aid within this historically significant protest site, continuing to foster literacy and community engagement.
