How we work

We are a community library and online bookstore with books focused on social justice, ethnic studies, and liberation movements. We invite everyone to use our library space as a community center; come cozy up with a book, learn about social justice, and connect with likeminded people. The space and books at our library are free to everyone and anyone.

Shout out to @sawhorse.revolution & @lmnarchitects for getting us to this point and bringing to life the vision our community has for our new bathroom! Join us next #Saturday for our #volunteer open house and mixer!! Important gathering April 1, 2023. This conversation is to discuss the harm the Department of Correction is causing our incarcerated family doing powerful cultural work. #Bookclubs are a great way to meet new friends or keep in touch with old ones, while keeping up on your reading and participating in lively and intellectually stimulating discussions. If you're interested in starting a book club, reach out!! 📚 This is one you can’t miss! A piece of Black History. One of our most favorite Salsa songs of all time. It’s called La Rebelión by Joe Arroyo - a song about a slave revolt against colonist persecution and violence. An amazing book for the kiddos to learn about Black History. We can never start too young. It’s these books that make our little ones learn about their proud history. Black History Month is every month. It’s the whole damn year! It’s Friday!
