Boise’s Mobile Bookstore
A Bookstore That Comes to You. On a Trolley!
We pop up at coffee shops, markets, breweries, and the occasional Tuesday across the Treasure Valley. Come browse at your own pace, chat with a stranger about that one book, and leave with something you didn't know you needed (or Snoots' autograph, depending on his mood).

Hi, I'm Dani. And that's Snoots.
Curbside Books started with a big idea: what if the bookstore came to people instead of waiting for people to come to it? So I bought a vintage trolley and started building the kind of place I always wanted nearby. Warm, welcoming, a little whimsical, and full of stories.
Now we pop up around Boise and beyond, creating cozy bookstore moments wherever we stop.
Bring the Trolley to Your Event
Private parties, company events, weddings, neighborhood gatherings, school events, markets, and community celebrations. If there are people there, we can probably bring books.
We make it easy, self-contained, and memorable.
Donate Books to the Trolley
Your finished books could become someone else’s favorite find.
We accept quality used books to help keep Trolley Parton stocked with affordable, unexpected reads for readers across Boise and the Treasure Valley.
