- As a self-proclaimed radical street librarian, Storybook Maze makes books appear where they’re scarce. Through initiatives like free, public book vending machines and street corner story times, she eliminates book deserts - or areas with limited access to literature - by making books accessible for children in underserved communities. (And in case you're wondering, she shares how you can become a radical street librarian, too.)

Unemployment isn't mainly lack of literacy, but pheno and gender bias.
What is her name?

She has the same voice as Alena
What an amazing testimony to what one person can do to change the world. I admire your passion to make a difference. Books make a difference in a young person’s life. YOU ROCK.
I love everything about this! Radical street librarians ASSEMBLE!
저도 도서관 장벽이었습니다
As a fellow librarian, thank you for your service 😊
Thank you for what you are doing for children - it’s wonderful!
I would love to share some gently used books to you. I’m about an hour away. Will send you a message!
‘Book deserts’
I like these concept!
I’ll share this video to my freinds!
I live in a rural community and our library does a bookmobile. They have a small selection on the bus but you can order what you want and they'll bring in to a local location twice a month. So cool!
I grew up with a bookmobile but not for long. Soon we had a new white brick and glass library with a librarian, Mrs. Beauvais, who took a quiet interest in my voracious reading habit. She kept a stack of books, always changing, on her desk ready for me to check-out. She was a huge influence on me and I never realized it until recently. Pay attention and thank the “adults” in your life who notice you and show you peace and love. ✌🏻❤️🎶⚜️🥳🌺
This was one of the most inspirational, heartwarming and eye opening presentations I've heard in a long time. Really, thank you so much...Unlike you, I'm very much of a coward. I realize it now when i listen to this. My family isn't exactly financially stable, so I'm trying to first get a job that provides money first and am in the process of it that i don't have the courage to risk it and go outside and do this right now. Poverty is a major issue here and i hope more and more people, who can help others like this, do so and help our world grow into a better place. Oh Also, the pack horse library! I never knew about that part of our history! It's so inspiring and such an amazing legend! Their courage and commitment just like yours! Man, i love all of you guys
The story of the librarian started on a hot day when she grabbed a book to read it to her nieces. Other children pop up and asked her to read other stories. Then she encouraged them to read books at their homes. They told her they had no books at home. She learned about a new concept called 'book deserts,' which refers to areas with limited access to books. She then got a job at a library store, but she discovered that the childrenhe came there weren't the same she met at the stoop. She quit her job and began giving away books on the streets. She shared statistics, revealing that in some areas in Philadelphia there is only one book for every 300 children. She also recounted stories of people giving away books for free in other areas using mules and horses, even in harsh weather conditions like snow. In the end, she advised the audience on how to start this concept, give away books, and stay in touch with neighbors to understand their needs better."
is she the Sister Sage in real life?
Difficult to be a librarian when everyone is functionally illiterate.
Great TED talk. I would love to see some other programs devoted to a portion of their existing volunteers to do this. Like AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps. Foundations like the Gates Foundation find themselves with a bunch of money leftover at the end of years where their money in the stock market has grown such that they have trouble spending the percentage of their funds that all foundations are required to spend.
That old African proverb is true for Europeans today.
Pay attention to what you granny remembers. Then write.
Love it!👏🏼💓📚
Congratulations on a successful TED Talk and continued blessings as you undoubtedly acquire your book trolley! 📚 🚎 ❤️💫
This is awesome; so inspirational.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🙏🏽📚📚📚🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing as a teacher you have my support.
We have a library in our village in Afghanistan where children and youths borrow books and study. It was build and formed by volunteers. WE NEED more BOOKS📚 to keep them coming to it.
Love it!
I used to have a pretty big children's library with around 300 books. But when we moved abroad I was forced to leave all of these books in my home country because delivery is really expensive. And that's so pitiful... but I bought an eBook Pocketbook for my daughter so she can read books in her native language. I also read to my kids aloud every evening from my phone. We go to book bazaars as well, buy books in ordinary bookshops, and of course, get them in the school library. Sometimes we read ebooks on the kid's Internet sites. Yeah, I like books 😃 however what about me I read only eBook, not paper versions
🥰🙏👏
“We dont have book at home” 😢
You can download pdf of the book from Google.
Books are composed collections of knowledge and information that everyone should indeed have access to but the problem is that technology has dumbed us down that we don’t read much anymore. Ask any Gen Z kids and they don’t read let alone open a book. They’re becoming illiterate every single year
Thank you for your work and hard efforts.
Amazing work, New subscriber from your Sister's Channel. All the best and God bless ❤❤❤
Love this!
Bravo 👏🏽 Has that same nervous but clear and well spoken voice as sister Alena 😊❤
❤️📚📚📚📚❤📚❤❤❤📚❤❤❤📚
Your work is inspiring. God bless you for the effort you're putting in to raising intentional and intelligent children
My local library saved my life. Unfortunately, years later they moved it elsewhere.
TED X you need to post Mikala Peterson.
Thank you for sharing!! I learned a lot.
Very good this video here in my neighborhoods have library ❤
Great job thanks for sharing 🫧💖
Excellent presentation on radical street librarian: books should be available to all communities , no matter their status.
Anyone here i want to learn english as i am going to visit Canada in January month so i need to practice anyone here who would like to practice with me...i am also ready for pay fees
This is such an amazing story.
Such an awesome TEDtalk.
THE MAZE FAMILY ARE A VERY SMART!!
Thank you for your work! May God bless you and this endeavor!!!
According to the Governer of NY, the speakers people don't even know what computers are lol
The sheer ignorance and racism of some democrats just astounds me. Unfortunately, their ignorance goes a lot deeper.
Great video, imagine you u work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just a few months ago and now they are multimillionaires
Wow, that is huge, how do you earn that much a month? I am 37 years old and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
I thank Laura Jennifer Reeves who has always been there to help me with detailed analysis and recommendations that I would not have had access to otherwise.
After raising 325k from trading with her, I bought a new house and car here in the states and also paid for my son's (Oscar) surgery, Glory be to God. Shalom
This sounds so good and I would love to be a part of it, is there a way to talk to her?
Sure! I will leave her info under this comment.
❤
Hey mazelee 😊👋
👋🏽Thank you so much for a inspirational powerful TED talk🫶🏾
I love it😊😊😊
? :) books never stolen in shops lootings, I don't see a problem
Wonderful! How do you fund these programs?
Hi dear I m Micky I need guys who are serious about English because I want to learn english I am going to visit Canada in January.. anyone here
The poor dear has not heard of Library Genesis
In many of these areas, digital access is just as limited. Even if they have a computer or phone, the cost or availability of data to download books can be an issue.
@@darnlibrarian an epub is often going to be about 4mb to maybe 8mb with even more of them in the 230kb to 750kb range. At 14.4kbs (dial up speed) figure 4 minutes a book
With this generation of readers there is probably greater value in physical copies where there isn't potential of being distracted by other things on a phone or tablet. Remember that most of the communities these programs reach probably can't afford a spare tool such as a kindle unless these are donated.
That's your assumption. Not every household has internet access, even in 2024. She emphasized building community and interpersonal relationships with children, not the internet.
Well the average intellectual quality of these talks certainly took a big hit - but all for a good cause, allegedly...
Let's have a topic of baloch speakers
God loves you and cares for you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this large universe and controls it completely. The greatest loss a person loses in this life is that he lives without knowing God who created him and knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. Great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and after that you have the choice to believe in it or not to believe in it. I advise you to do this now, before you no longer have time to do so. Life is very short. It is just a test, just a passage to eternal life. Great advice to those who... Understands
Yes yes yes 🙌🏼 love everything about this 🙏🏼🫶🏼
Than you for doing this 🫡
