Welcome to the New International Bookshop (NIBS), Melbourne’s famous left-wing bookshop.

NIBS caters for the interests of people whose concerns about justice, democratic rights and the environment lead them to a vision of an alternative society.

We support those who want to read and discuss critiques of contemporary political and social issues, including capitalism, race, gender, class and environment, from a left-wing viewpoint.

NIBS runs regular speaking events via both the Australia Series and NIBS Underground, which seek to stimulate discussion and debate on topical issues relevant to the left.

NIBS also provide a very affordable meeting room for activists groups to use. Find out more in the Get Involved section of this website.
