Book Lending Library
The following books have been contributed by various women connected with the Comox Valley Red Tent women's circles. The criteria for inclusion is quite loose, and may be described as books written for, by or about women, books on feminism and activism, autobiographies of women... and additional categories as books continue to be donated to the library.
The books are available to borrow by women living in the Comox Valley region, with the intention that the books be returned so they may be enjoyed over and over again by other women. Contact Lori at [email protected] in order to arrange to view the library, located in Comox, Vancouver Island, BC. Bring book donations to the monthly Red Tent events at the yurt in Courtenay, or email Lori to arrange a drop-off in Comox.
