Our Resource Library is a small lending library home to a growing collection of books on anti-racism and solidarity across global political movements. The library functions as an educational resource and a community space where learning and conversations can take place.
The library grows in parallel to the committee’s research interests and in collaboration with artists we work with. We also welcome book donations and suggestions of books you would like to access. Please fill use this form to suggest or donate a book.
The library includes a series of tandem public events and opportunities to activate the resources. Last winter we released a trial Reader Residency that was awarded to artist Zoë Charlery who also ran the workshop “a point to untwine” in February 2023.
You may have two books borrowed at a time, with a borrowing window of one month. After the end of the borrowing window, renewals can be made but they will be dependent on the waiting list for each book.
