Library Materials

All of our dvds and books can be found on the Alternative Libraries Database. Some periodicals  and resource binders are not cataloged,  but can still be browsed in the library.

Media

The library contains over one hundred DVD and VHS items,and is particularly strong in documentaries on indigenous rights and environmental issues.

Books and Periodicals

Library materials represent a broad range of subjects ranging from prison struggles to DIY guides about body activism. We are also unique in Montreal for having a well-developed collection specifically devoted to Women of Color materials.

Our periodical collection is composed of items we currently subscribe to as well as those which we no longer receive but are still available for patron use. Several magazines are in storage,   but can  be accessed on request.

Zines

We have zines from all over North America but we are especially interested in supporting local zine creators. The collection is particularly strong in zines with a DIY,  queer,  and anti-racist focus.

Resource Readings and PIRG Publications

Resource readings provide information in the form of pamphlets,  articles,  and locally produced texts. The readings are organized by subject and the library is especially strong in information dealing with the environment,  housing,  and political organizing in local contexts.

PIRG publications include reports compiled by QPIRG McGill and people who have undertaken summer research projects.
