MonkeyWrench Books's Blurbs |
About me:
MonkeyWrench Books is an all-volunteer, nonprofit, collectively owned and operated radical bookstore in North Austin. We provide an extensive collection of radical and hard to find literature and media, and a space for community events.In order to offer a real alternative to the homogeneity of corporate bookstores.
MonkeyWrench Books serves as a clearinghouse for information on Austin-area groups, projects, and events. In addition, the store offers a space for local organizing, and facilitates greater interaction among groups working for social change. It is a place where people newly interested in political action can find support, information, and a diversity of progressive viewpoints. It is also a place where experienced ativists and organizers can share their knowledge and find the resources needed to achieve their goals.
We are located at:
110 E. North Loop
Austin, TX
(512) 407-MWBK (6925)
