Just to advertise the place “alternative library” in Bucharest, Romania. The text is copied from the blog of the project:
http://biblioteca-alternativa.noblogs.org/static/info-in-english
The Alternative Library:
- Came into existence through the initiative of an informal group to
share a
collection of materials intended to contribute to developing a critical
stance
towards the world and society that we live in, constituting at the same
time a
basis for discussions that aim for engendering social change. - is Organized on non-hierarchical principles.
- Represents an autonomous, non-profit project based on the voluntary
contribution of those who want such spaces to exist, to develop and to
remain
independent of European/institutional financing. All donations are
welcomed! - Gathers over 260 books and 300 magazines/pamphlets that have gone
from hand to
hand to reach this space. These are grouped in various fields:
sociology/anthropology, anarchism/social movements/direct action,
gender/sexuality/LGBTQ, colonialism/militarism, repression/political
prisoners,
literature, art/photography, etc. In order for all to be be able to
access
these materials, please respect the lending terms and return the
materials in
the same state you received them. - Also functions as a social-center and hosts activities organized by
people who
want to share their ideas and practical knowledge with all those
interested. In
this way, the space is open to you! - Offers its space for the development of independent and non-profit
projects. - Does not accept oppressive and authoritarian ideas/attitudes
(racist, sexist, homophobic,
xenophobic, etc.) within its space. - Hopes you will visit it on Bogdan Voda street nr. 9 (North Train
Station area) or send
your suggestions and thoughts to biblioteca-alternativa
(at) riseup.net - Will share scheduled events and its latest news here (generally in
romanian)
