Hi! I’m Dani, the book lover behind Curbside Books, and this fluffy Mini Aussie beside me is my sidekick and mascot-in-training, Snoots. Together, we’re on a mission to bring books, art, and community together—one pop-up at a time.

The spark for Curbside Books came from my Grandma Marie, who always had a book in hand and five audiobooks on rotation. Some of my favorite memories are of us wandering through library shelves and sitting around the kitchen table with coffee, trading book recommendations. Her passion for books was infectious, and Curbside Books is my way of keeping that magic alive.

Fast forward to November 2020. Snoots and I were on a walk, and I was listening to The Bookshop on the Corner, a story about a woman who starts a mobile bookstore. By the end of that walk, I was hooked. The idea of a bookstore on wheels—though in a charming trolley kind of way—felt like the perfect way to combine my love of books, travel, and community.

Today, we’re popping up at events around Boise with our kiosk, sharing carefully curated reads and connecting with fellow book lovers. Behind the scenes, we’re hard at work transforming a trolley into a magical mobile bookstore. Soon, you’ll be able to step inside, browse shelves of handpicked books, and discover local art in a cozy, welcoming space.

We’d love to meet you at our next event and hear all about the stories that inspire you!
