About this Event

Welcome to A DEEPLY ROOTED TROLLEY TOUR by Harriett's Bookshop!


A DEEPLY ROOTED Bonus Trolley Tour is our hop on-hop off tour that celebrates local culture, history, music, and deeply rooted tradition by visiting new and seasoned spaces throughout Philadelphia.


In 2021, after threats and harassments, Harriett's started trolley tours in a promise to protect and serve ofher local businesses. Four years later the tours continue lifting up hundreds of riders, businesses, and organizations each year.


This year, Harriett's honors our very own Shopkeeper, Jeannine A. Cook who has recently published her debut memoir, SHUT UP AND READ and novel, ITS ME THEY FOLLOW, both books remind us to stay present to the power that lives in our personal and collective roots.


Hosted by the one and only STARFIRE--each tour promises laughter, reflection, food, fun, connection, undeniable memories, and books in support of locally owned businesses.

The shop offers a curated selection of new, used, and rare books for both adults and children, creating space for reflection, learning, and liberation.
