Infoshops, street libraries, and radical community spaces

A directory of infoshops, anarchist spaces, and bookstores with an anarchist bent. Infoshops come and go. Since not all of them notify Infoshop.org about changes, it's always best to call or write first before showing up on a doorstep.

It was last updated on June 12, 2006

A more up-to-date version of this directory can be found at the Infoshop OpenWiki. You can add information about new infoshops or edit information about existing (and closed) ones.
