About The Feminist Library
At The Feminist Library you can read and borrow books on feminism and movements for liberation for a small deposit. We are an anti-imperialist, anticolonial, antiracist feminist library
and the collection includes non/fiction, theoretical and practical books, children’s books and zines on topics such as liberation movements, black and queer activism, indigenous knowledges, feminist marxism, lesbian and trans histories, anarchism and abolitionism, ecology, embodiment and health, and feminist art.
The Feminist Library approaches feminism as the project for the liberation of all. Everyone is welcome. As a collection of books, the library is and will always be incomplete. Currently, our collection only includes books in Dutch and English.
Borrowing books
Books can be borrowed for free on payment of a deposit of €10, which is retained if the book is returned with damage (other than from reading, e.g. water damage). Renewal by email is possible once. If the book is lost, €20 must be paid to replace it.
The Feminist Library is run by an open, small group of passionate feminists. We dedicate our efforts to advance education on feminism and to make feminist fiction, theory and practice
accessible for free to the public.
Donate
The Feminist Library is made possible by funding from Civic Noord and donations from friends and comrades. Do you have books to donate? Or zines? Or perhaps archival material? We highly appreciate all gifts!
