Library

Black Rose hosts a 30 year old Radical library full of hundreds of books, along with DVD's, CD's, VHS tapes, zines and pamphlets. We also have free zines and other materials for the taking..
This resource depends on the support of its users to remain accessible.

Library memberships are $10 for the first year, $5 ever year after.

Members can check out up to 2 items (though we do make exceptions) for a few weeks. There is a $5 deposit requested for each item, because we love our books and want to make sure others will get to love them too.

If you can't make it in or need to keep your book a little longer, just send us an email and let us know. We're happy to extend if they are being used.
