library

the library holds over 10,000 books for all kinds of readers, including philosophy, history, theology, esoteric & occult, science, gender & sexuality, religion & spirituality, colonial and postcolonial theory, cultural studies, poetry, and a collection of fiction.

at a time when many are questioning how to build new institutions of decentralised power and learning, Portal offers a unique opportunity for members of the library industry (and outsiders!) to experiment with how a library can function. whereas other libraries are bound in heavy processes of governance and bureaucratic administration, portal currently operates predominantly via conversation, making our organisation uniquely responsive to our communities.

library card-holders can borrow books for four weeks. if you need more time, just let our volunteers know via hellolibraryportal@gmail.com
