Library Update

Hello anarchist readers!

It’s been quite a long time since the last post and a few things have changed, so here’s the latest from Revolting Books. Firstly, our opening hours are:

• Mondays with Sarah and Laura, 3.30-7pm
• Tuesdays, 3.30- 7pm.
• Fridays, 3.30-5pm.
• Sundays, 12-2pm.

You can drop off books at the library any time by leaving them in the 128 Abel Smith centre postbox, but speaking with a hunk of bread in my mouth, Monday is by far the best day to visit because we hand out leftovers from the lovely people at Arobake from 6pm onwards.

Here’s a link to our catalogue on LibraryThing

Our little anarchist library

Revolting Books, a little anarchist library, is based at 128 Abel Smith St. in Te Aro, Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand.

We have over a thousand books and nearly a hundred zine and serial titles. Our aim is to serve the needs and interests of the anarchist community and to promote anarchism to the wider Wellington community As well as works explicitly about anarchism, we collect material that is inspiring to anarchists and political activists, that expresses the voices of marginalised people, that recognises the unique place of Maori in Aotearoa New Zealand, that encourages autonomy and self-sufficiency and that offers a critical view of society.

Wellington anarchists, friends, and members of the local community are all welcome to join Revolting Books and borrow items from the collection. While we have a small reference collection, most items can be borrowed for 3 weeks.

We operate mainly on a self-issue basis, but a librarian will be present some hours each week – currently Monday 3.30 to 7pm, Tuesday 3-7 p.m., and Friday 12-2 p.m.
