WPIRG is home to a library of hundreds of radical books useful for research, reference, and your general reading pleasure. This past summer, WPIRG revamped its resource centre, and brought in hundreds of new and exciting books. From indigenous and decolonization studies, to gender and sexuality, to DIY activism and environmental protection, the resource library offers a broad range of texts you’d have a hard time finding in other libraries – or even bookstores – in the city.

On October 15th, join us in celebrating the library’s grand reopening with food, drinks and a celebration of the written word’s contribution to our movements for social and environmental justice.

Featuring three activist-authors whose recently published books have joined WPIRG’s collection, you will have the opportunity to participate in a conversation on a range of perspectives, ideas, and tools important to our struggles. For those who want to get their own copies, featured books will be available for purchase.Attendees will also have the opportunity to browse through a display of the many new books available at WPIRG, and even sign up for a free library membership!
