Library Resources
Our resources specialize in social, economic, and environmental justice covering subjects such as activism and organizing, navigating capitalism, climate change, consumer justice, sustainable economics, education, gardening and more! As well, we have zines from all over North America, but we are especially interested in supporting local zine creators, particularly those with an activist, and DIY focus.
