    Host a bookstand

    Have a welcoming spot on your block? Offer it. We build, place, and stock a free community bookstand — you simply keep an eye on it.

    How Hosting Works

    You bring the spot. We bring the stand.

    Hosting is free — sponsorship funds the build, not you. Here's the path from your offer to books on the block.

    You offer the spot

    A community garden, church lawn, school yard, storefront, or stoop with room for a small cabinet on a firm, level pad.

    We confirm the details

    Our Steward-Network Coordinator checks property permission and an ADA-friendly placement (book opening 15–48 inches up).

    We build, place & stock

    We install a weatherproof recycled-poly stand, fill it with curated books, and add it to the public map. You keep an eye on it.

    The Legacy Foundation

    We work with young people and emerging artists, and with the families around them — in the five boroughs, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk, and in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach.
