Do you have good quality, almost new or new books? Donate them to Libros Revolución .
We know there’s a treasure house of books out there on people’s bookshelves and closets–the hidden histories of the Soviet and Chinese revolutions, memoirs from the 60s Black liberation and women’s movements, out-of-print chronicles of struggles in Africa, Latin America, Asia… art books, novels, poetry…
Bring them to Libros
Revolución and we will get them back in circulation to the people who yearn for a different future. And you will help keep this revolutionary bookstore open.

Libros Revolución / Revolution Books -
Flooded But Not Deterred!
Revolución, and deliver or send them along with statements expressing why you support the bookstore. Don’t have alot in your pockets? Get creative! One friend is donating his hair styling skills to raise funds. At a time when we’re putting revolution and the indispensable leadership of Bob Avakian on the map and forging cores of people who are determined to bring into being a communist world, Libros Revolución is needed more than ever. In the midst of this eviction battle, we’ve met old and new friends of Libros, and are thrilled that through emails and press coverage some people are discovering this bookstore and this revolutionary movement for the first time. Yesterday, however, we encountered a new challenge when the store was flooded by the boiler next door, resulting in water-damaged books and other materials. Today when we met with the landlord to discuss an extension to raise the next $2,000 - due Aug. 31 - because of disrupted business and damages, he refused to take any responsibility, and told us if we didn’t meet the deadline, he would commence new eviction proceedings. This means we have only 5 days to raise $2,000, so we are calling on everyone reading this to donate generously. Make checks payable to Libros Revolución, and deliver or send them along with statements expressing why you support the bookstore. Don’t have alot in your pockets? Get creative! One friend is donating his hair styling skills to raise funds.
It is no exaggeration to say that the future is at stake. And Libros Revolución provides a glimpse into that future, and helps pave the way.
More than a bookstore, it is a center of revolutionary ferment - a crucible where a re-envisioned revolutionary communism interacts and mixes it up with all the streams of progressive, radical, and revolutionary intellectual life. It’s a place to engage the whole world. So give all you can to enable Libros Revolución to continue to play this role.
