Boxcar Books

Boxcar Books and Community Center is a volunteer-powered, collectively organized bookstore and community space which supports the Midwest Pages to Prisoners Project.

We provide free meeting space, hang out space, and host readings and events. Call us, or email events@boxcarbooks.org to reserve the space!

Our collection includes used and new titles, both classic and contemporary fiction and non, with everything from Philosophy and Prison Issues to Cookbooks and Crafts. We have a wide selection of zines (self-published magazines) covering a range of topics, and a Discount section with titles for $2 and less!
