Just a reminder that Urban Scouting is having it's first pop-up event at Unchartered Book Store in Logan Square TONIGHT!

http://www.unchartedbooks.com/readings-literary-events/

We will be talking about repurposing things, ideas and items. Some people might choose to swap these items some might just want to share and not swap.

During the evening we will also touch on making our two projects: t shirt screening and the houseless project and a pop up edible urban gardening around the city, come to life.

Come and say you did something.

We have a general selection, but specialize in contemporary, literary fiction, Chicago interest, women's studies, and queer/LGBT.
