OUR STORY
Hi There!
​
I'm Geniece, the proud founder of Birdcage Ink -- a mobile bookstore with a big dream: to celebrate the art of storytelling and build a strong, creative literary culture right here in our community.
​
Birdcage Ink isn’t just about selling books. It’s about connecting people, sparking imaginations, and creating a space where stories come alive. We handpick a variety of books for every kind of reader—whether you’re into thrilling page-turners, thought-provoking non-fiction, or anything in between, there’s something for you here.
​
It all started in Bakersfield, CA a town in Kern County—a place some might overlook when it comes to literary energy. But we saw something special: a deep hunger for stories, a drive for creativity, and a need for spaces where people could come together. That’s when Birdcage Ink hit the road, becoming a mobile hub for book lovers to meet, chat, and explore.
​
Our mission?
To build a welcoming space where everyone feels at home—a place to get lost in a good book or find new friends who love stories as much as you do. Birdcage Ink is more than a bookstore. It’s a traveling community center, a spot for inspiration, and a spark for conversations that matter.
​
In 2021, we expanded our mission with Birdcage Ink Publishing, supporting local authors and uplifting Kern County’s diverse stories and voices. We’re passionate about making sure our community’s stories are heard and celebrated.
​
So whether you’re a lifelong bookworm or just getting started on your reading journey, come join us. Let’s create something amazing together—one story at a time.
