Lohana Berkins Library

September Open Hours*:

Drop in to read books, drink tea, and chat with other bookworms. You can also become a library member and sign out a book to read at home!

Also during library hours, between 3 - 5pm, we’ll have a bureaucracy table, where we can tackle our bureaucratic tasks in a collective setting where they have less power to overwhelm us. This is a peer-to-peer space created by whoever happens to attend on a given day. There are no experts present to help with tasks, but others attending may have some info/guidance to offer, or people may decide to team up and take turns tackling each person’s tasks as a group (or find any number of other creative strategies!).

This month’s theme: Decolonial Gardening
