books for community - cause that is what we do here

books for community is a deliberately anti-racist community initiative.

A collection of books selected to support Black, Indigenous and racialized (BIR) members of the community.

The books listed here are special.

Either they are anti-racism tools or they are written by authors from under represented communities.

Since launching in July 2021, the books for community program has partnered with groups like the e(RACE)r Institute and Rad Riot Books to support the following local causes:

Real Talk Book Club

KW Little Free Diverse Libraries

Land Back Camp - osekenhionhatatie
