SERVICE DETAILS
Streetreads was conceived by Rachel Cowan, known around Edinburgh as the ‘Bookwumman’. Rachel would hand out books to homeless people and Streetreads was born.
We’re delighted with the continuing evolution of Streetreads, developing Rachel’s work into the Streetreads Library in the basement of the City of Edinburgh Methodist Church, in Nicolson Square.
The library opened in August 2021 and since then the space has been used for creative writing classes, training, art therapy and the space has offered many the opportunity to escape from the often challenging present.
