Jersey City Free Books

freebooks

This place is such a cool gem in the heights (397 Griffith Street). I originally discovered it in the yellow pages (yes the original book of pages, not online) listed under computer repair. My pink minibook needed to come back from the dead, and “Grave Robber Computer Repair” sounded like it was worth a try.

Read about that entertaining experience here. Wild.

It was only upon that visit that I learned about the free books. And yes, everything is free.

Here’s a link to their facebook page.

Get your read on!
