> sharing this amazing collection, is completely free to the public.  
> Beyond this, the Alternatives Library represents a space in our  
> community where many different cultural frameworks, world views, and  
> paths come together. Through our collection, the Alternatives  
> Library upholds a deep rooted commitment towards cooperation,  
> solidarity, and collective liberation.

> In the past year, we've created a dozen new shelving sections for  
> our collection. Through our new website and the volunteer curator  
> program, we've developed our collection to reflect local social  
> movements & issues of concern. We'd like to invite you to join us in  
> celebration of our new shelving scheme, Thursday, March 7th from  
> 6:00-9:00 pm.
>
> There will be guest speakers, delicious refreshments, and library  
> tours of our collection. Invite your friends and family to come  
> experience this incredible resource.
