A LibroMobile Arts Cooperative (LMAC) & Bookstore Project through a Digital Archives initiative for-and-by the local community.

​

This digital humanities project began in March of 2022 in an effort to highlight independent bookstores owned by Black, Indigenous, and people of color. This map functions not only as a digital archive for BIPOC-owned bookstores and lending libraries throughout California, but also as a way to build on anti-gentrification movement culture and celebrate diversity.

​
