Sumac Library and Bookstall + Rainbow Archive
Wednesday October 21st @ 11:00 am - 5:00 pm
The Sumac Centre has its own small library, which people are free to browse when the Centre is open.
The library covers a range of topics from anarchism, animal rights, political and social theory, race, gender and class, environment and ecology, activism, to journalism and history and more.
We also welcome offers of help in helping to keep the Library (& book stall) organised.
Sumac also hosts the Veggies Book Stall, available whenever the Centre is open. Their are books and journals for reference and for sale covering green, human rights, animal issues, anti-war, co-operation and social justice. Some are available via Veggies online store.
We have started a catalogue of books in the library and another of journals and other archives.
We are working with the Sparrows Nest Library, a huge wealth of pre-digital campaign resources from the 1980s & 90s publically available, or at least catalogued. For the Public Catalogue search for “Rainbow Centre” and Rainbow archives detailed listing.
