Baltimore native Rita Collins launched her delightful, 19-foot-long mobile book van in the tiny town of Eureka, Montana, in 2015. She has spent much of the last decade exploring the U.S. while putting thousands of used books in the hands of grateful readers young and old. Rita’s mobile bookstore does more than make books available
