We believe this can only be achieved by an organised and politically conscious social movement, based on participatory democracy and workers control. Our collective aims to help to build this movement. We seek to bring the ideas of anarchism to ever-widening circles of people. We will also try to prefigure and nurture alternative social structures through the structures and activities of our collective. This means creating a physical and social space that is liberating, safe, imbued with anarchist politics, and a joy to be in.

 Our bookshop has thousands of books that you won’t find anywhere else – anarchist, enviro, feminist, anti-war and more. Also t-shirts, posters and DVDs. We’re not-for-profit and 100% volunteer-run. >> More on our bookshop

 Collected over the last 30 years, the Jura library is a great resource of books & journals, with a broadly anarchist focus. All are welcome to use the library; there is a small membership fee if you wish to borrow. We also maintain a poster archive.>> More on our library

 Jura people participate in many campaigns. We aim to be a base and resource for activists and groups, and we also try to pre-figure the world we want to create. We welcome like-minded people to work with us and use our space. We need people to do shifts in the shop, come to working bees, organise events and more. Do as much or as little as you are able. >> More about using the space >> More about getting involved

 Jura hosts gigs, films, spoken word nights and political talks. Many of these are solidarity fundraisers. You're welcome to come along or get in touch about organising your own event. >> Events calendar

 Jura has been open since 1977. The name commemorates a successful European anarchist workers organisation.>> More on our history

 Jura runs on donations. Financial support (small and large) is always welcome; if you contribute $10 per month you get a 20% discount on books.>> Make a donation

 Jura is solar powered!

  

 Jura Books is on the land of the Wangal people of the Eora Nation. The Jura Collective acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the Land and pays our respect to Elders past and present. We support the ongoing struggle of Aboriginal people for land rights, self-determination, and justice.

  

 A note on accessibility: The lower level of Jura (the bookshop area) is accessible for people using wheelchairs or with other mobility impairments. However the library and toilets are up steep flights of stairs. We can move most meetings and events downstairs upon request.
