Belmont Community Free Library

---

The Belmont Community Free Library is just that, a publicly accessible free space where community members can both donate and contribute books and literature as well as find titles to pick up and read.  Knowledge is power and paramount, read, read, read!

The BCFL is made entirely of reclaimed pallet wood with a handful of acquired hardware pieces and plexi for the window.  We made it in the collective haus driveway on a sunny project day!

The Belmont Community Free Library is lovingly supported by book donations from amazing independent publishing comrades, please support them!

- Microcosm Publishing
- Haymarket Books
- PM Press
- AK Press
- Crimethinc
- Detritus Books

You can make your own free library in any manner you'd like, here's the materials we used to make the one at the collective haus.  It cost under $20 to build using reclaimed materials.

- 2x hooks (for the back of the library to attach it to the free wall with zip ties)

- Whatever other mounting supplies you need depending on how you want to set it up.
