Antiquarian books, metaphysical and military books. Crime, Christian and comic books -- Greater Victorians have been churning their way through specialty bookshops for years. But none quite like Camas Books and Infoshop. Its newly minted niche? Radical books.

Housed "on Coast Salish territory" at Quadra Street and Kings Road, Camas positions itself as the go-to spot for writing that challenges the status quo. You name it, they challenge it -- be it political, economic, social or sexual.

anarchist librarians email list

a-librarians@lists.mutualaid.org

Yes, we have a mailing list! If you are an anarchist or anti-authoritarian librarian, archivist, or library worker, please subscribe! The list currently has over 180 subscribers.

This email list is intended for anarchist, left-libertarian, radical and anti-authoritarian librarians and library workers (and their friends). We prefer that only library folks sign up.

To subscribe, please visit the page for the list: http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/a-librarians

We also have a digest version of the list, which only mails out when around 42 K of messages have been posted. This means that you may get one message a week if the traffic is light, or more often if the discussion heats up. The digest version lists the subject line of each email at the top, in a handy "table of contents" format.

To send a message to the list, email it to a-librarians@lists.mutualaid.org

A library angle has emerged in the case of a terrorism suspect indicted in July 2006 (along with a confederate) on charges of going through paramilitary training in Georgia and plotting to attack various targets in the region and elsewhere. The lawyer for Syed Ahmed, 21, a former Georgia Tech student, filed a document in federal court in Atlanta Thursday that FBI agents followed Ahmed to the Chestatee Regional Library, Dawsonville, GA, and searched the computer he had worked on without a warrant, according to the Associated Press.

Bookstore burns books while anarchist bookstore expands a few miles away

Kansas City -- As a booklover, librarian, writer, publisher and bookseller, nothing gets me more excited than visiting a new independent bookstore for the first time or being involved in the creation of a new infoshop or bookstore. Over the years I've been involved with three radical bookstore projects: Rainbow Bookstore (Madison, Wisc), the Brian MacKenzie Center (Washington, DC), and the Crossroads Infoshop & Radical Bookstore (Kansas City, MO). I helped start the Brian MacKenzie Center in 1999, which opened its doors in 2003 and is celebrating its fourth anniversary this month. I helped start the Crossroads Infoshop in 2004, which has existed in two locations before it moved into its new space this past week. Crossroads is a volunteer-run business and organization.

New York: Book Fair Unites Anarchists -- In Spirit, Anyway

There are almost as many definitions and interpretations as there are adherents. There are, for example, anarcho-syndicalists, anarcho-communists, and eco-anarchists. Then there are the anarcho-primitivists in Oregon, who deplore technology and therefore have at least one glaring difference with a group of New York anarchists, who run a volunteer computer lab at ABC No Rio, a community center on the Lower East Side.

Croatia: Report on the Third Annual Anarchist Bookfair in Zagreb

Anarhistic(ki sajam knjiga (Anarchist Bookfair in Zagreb/Croatia) started March 30.2007 in the place of Zelena Akcija (Green Action) around 3 p.m. Although this place is less than one from last year, it is enough big for publishers and organisations which will represent themselves. Different people came, from subculture to the mothers with children. Publishers came from different countries (Croatia, Serbia, Belgium, France, Austria, etc). I liked mostly place of Croatian publisher "�to c(ita�" (What You Read), organisation from France "Federation Anarchiste" (they have and Radio Libertaire in Paris) and Anfema ("Anarcha-Feminist Action" from Croatia).

Zine Libraries: File under other

Views: 559

When a Barnard librarian named Jenna Freedman drafted the proposal for the Barnard College Zine Library in 2003, there was no shortage of questions. But none of them came from her employers, who needed little convincing that these examples of self-published, alternative literature merited inclusion in the stacks. After all, there were already highly successful examples of zine libraries at Duke University and the New York Public Library.
