Help Build the Proletariat Library!!
We're always looking for hardcover book donations. If you're cleaning out your shelves, we'd love to give your books a second life.
Classics, history, biographies, novels, art books—anything hardcover is appreciated.
Your books become part of the atmosphere at The Proletariat.
If you have books feel free to drop them off or send a DM and I’ll come pick them up!
