A LibroMobile Arts Cooperative (LMAC) & Bookstore Project through a Digital Archives initiative for-and-by the local community.

​

This digital humanities project began in March of 2022 in an effort to highlight independent bookstores owned by Black, Indigenous, and people of color. This map functions not only as a digital archive for QBIPOC-owned bookstores and lending libraries throughout California, but also as a way to build on anti-gentrification movement culture and celebrate diversity.

​

Feel free to come back and visit this map again! New locations will be added on a continuing basis as further research is conducted. Want your venue on our map or want to update information about your venue? Email us!

Also, please take a moment to acknowledge our research contributors listed in the storymap, they are usually college interns and/or young scholars helping us along the way.
