About Me

The Earthdiver Book Collective is a lending library: essentially a community-run library that supplies books and information to anyone free of charge. We have a wide array of literature, including progressive or hard to find material, independantly published pamphlets and magazines, and any books or novels collective members happen to fancy.
Our aim is to be dedicated to facilitating equal relations amongst all living things; for the free flow of knowledge and free flow of people and culture, the instilment of beauty, joy and love into our everyday interactions.
There is a working kitchen and facilities and comfy couches for studying or browsing. Library materials can be checked out as well. Everyone is welcome!!
In addition to that, we are interested in opening our doors to community events and projects. Although not directly affiliated with the university, we are located close to campus and are open to advances from college groups and individuals interested in using the space.
We are housed at:
321 MARKET STREET
(just south of the New Moon Cafe)
Open hours are:
M W Th F 3:00-7:00pm
Saturday 10:00am-4:00pm
