BBB is leaving no community behind as it will be a mobile bookstore able to travel throughout the borough especially to neighborhoods where it may be needed the most. Lifelong Bronx resident Latanya DeVaughn, CEO and founder of Bronx Bound Books will travel primarily throughout The Bronx. She wants to have a few fixed locations in The Bronx. Especially those places that have two fare zones. Residents of neighborhoods like Co-op City, Soundview and Throggs Neck, who rely on public transportation are all too familiar with navigating via a two-fare zone within the borough. “If it takes person more than a half hour to get to their nearest bookstore by public transportion. I want to be located there. Accessibility and visibility are my top priority.†DeVaughn also plans to host workshops and various events to encourage children, teenagers, and elders to read.
