In the previous round of Sowing Post Capitalist Seeds, a student from our first cohort gifted a copy of Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici to a student in the next cohort. And that sparked an idea!
Moriah and I have started to build a lending library for those who participate in Sowing Post Capitalist Seeds and the Radical Reading Group. We intend to acquire and manage copies of the books we use or recommend in our curriculum, sending them to those who request them for the length of the course. Initially, we will create one set of books but will expand the service and our collection. In addition, we will invite previous cohorts to donate their texts to new cohort members.
Our lending library will make our texts more accessible to those who may not be able to afford them, keeps us supporting independent book sellers instead of multinational companies, and keeps books and resources from landfills and purchasing new ones.

We'd be honored if you wanted to help us expand our lending library. We're looking for texts that we use in the course or other resources that might support the SPCS curriculum. These are not limited to physical books, but can include audios, digital copies, e-books, large print, braille and sign language resources.
Let us know here if you have something you'd like to donate.
