Below is a snapshot of our wonderful collection, including our books, games and DVDs! We’ve been receiving many donations, but are in the midst of updating our cataloging system so a lot of our new collection is yet to appear here. Come on down to the library and check it out in person! We also have a whole lot of zines that aren’t listed, if you are particularly curious about the zines contact us, or come and have a browse.
Some of the themes we’ve organised our collection into include:
- queer, gender, feminism and sexuality
- race and Aboriginal/Indigenous/First Nation
- health, ability and mental health
- environment
- religion, religious issues and spirituality
- food, gardening and DIY
- exposé
- praxis, community and collective organising
- political theory and philosophy
- australian/local
- fiction (including speculative and less speculative)
- young adult
- kids
- autobiography/biography
- the arts (inc. poetry, scripts, performance, visual arts)
To search through the collection hold down Ctrl + F and type in your search item (author’s surname or title), or simply scroll down.
If you have any books/zines/DVDs/magazines/etc that you would like to donate please contact us! We are especially keen to build up our kids book section at the moment.
