The Commuting Book is a community-based organisation that aims to promote an appreciation and love of reading as a source of knowledge and entertainment by bringing literature to public spaces and in people’s daily activities.
We are a small team of volunteers, all dedicated readers, writers, and book lovers taking Aotearoa New Zealand’s rich literary landscape to the streets. If you like what we do, please make a donation and help us to keep going, and do more, and better!
