“The only thing that you absolutely have to know is the location of the library.”

Albert Einstein

Using the interlibrary loan system available through FLLS, the book or DVDs in our collection will be delivered to your local library and you can pick them up and return them there. The Alternatives Library has many unique titles and hard-to-find publications, and they are all available for loan to anyone.

The library is free and open to all.

“Bad libraries build collections, good libraries build services, great libraries build communities.”

R. David Lankes

While many of us are still lying low during this time of COVID, it is an excellent opportunity to discover the rich resources the Alternatives Library has been collecting for the past 40+ years. We are committed to exploring new ideas and providing our patrons with new perspectives on current social issues.
