Social change agents often express their thoughts in news stories, outdoor rallies, and posters glued to walls. Provisions Library offers a record of this work, and hopes, simultaneously, to cultivate the activist in each of us. Begun as an experimental outpost where the public could access alternative publications from around the world, the library now houses 350 periodicals, both domestic and international, a magazine library of social commentary, and 4,000 volumes that cross disciplines – all telling the story of humankind’s quest for justice. In-depth exhibitions of socially engaged art, along with educational programs and workshops, are central to the mission. The website features sections on cultural diversity, mobility and migration, oppression, spirituality and psychology, work and class, each with links to resources such as films, books and academic programs. International social activists and artists discuss their craft and these are broadcast on the newly redesigned website. The library fosters reflection, challenges viewers to think critically, and invites the imagination of new solutions. Help enlighten the world with your support of Provisions.
