May Day March & Stall 2019

Sunday, May 5, 2019 -
11:00am to 4:00pm

Jura will be closed on Sunday 5th May 2019. Many of us will be at the rally and march organised by Unions NSW, and others will be running at bookstall at Prince Alfred Park. Come and join us in the march or drop by our stall afterwards. Meet us at Hyde Park North from 11am, between the Archibald Fountain and St James station. We'll be marching from about 12pm to Prince Alfred Park. Look for the Jura stall under some shady trees. Contact Jura[at]Jura.org.au for more details.

Jura Bookshop

Jura Bookshop in 2013 at the launch of How to Make Trouble and Influence People

We stock thousands of great radical books and pamphlets - many of which you won’t find anywhere else.

We choose our stock carefully, and are always happy to make recommendations - just ask. Our main focus is books that are by, for, about, or of interest to anarchists and anarchism. Sometimes we have books that not everyone agrees with, but we think ought to be available. We never stock material that is racist, sexist, homophobic, pro-capitalist, or pro-war etc.

We also sell political t-shirts, posters, CDs and DVDs. We have a large shelf of free pamphlets and other material.

Major sections:
Anarchism | Feminism | Race and ethnicity | Environment | Queer politics | Workers struggle | Veganism and animal rights | History | Fiction | Art

Smaller sections:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples | Imperialism and colonialism | Economics | Sociology and governance | Libertarian Marxism | Communities and utopias | Sustainable living | Health | Law and prisons | Education | Parenting | Young adults | Children | Situationism | The IWW | Postmodernism | Anti-war | Religion | Primitivism | Science and technology.

Jura Library

Jura Library in 2013

Collected over the last 40 years, the Jura Library is a great resource of books, periodicals, and political posters, with a broadly anarchist focus. The library is a collectively owned and managed. It has been kept alive through the donations and hard work of hundreds of volunteers over the years.

Anyone is welcome to come and browse and read the books during opening hours. If you want to borrow books, you need to become a library member (see below). The library also always needs volunteers - there's lots to be done, including sorting, cataloguing, cleaning and fundraising. Please let us know if you're interested.

The Jura Library is also known as the Fanya Baron Library. Fanya Baron was a Russian anarchist revolutionary who worked with Nestor Makhno, Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman (to name a few), to spread anarchist organising and ideas throughout Russia.
