The Solidarity Revolutionary Center and Radical Library is an anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian, all-volunteer run lending library, community center, and infoshop. We're located at 1109 Massachusetts St, in downtown Lawrence, KS.
The Solidarity Center was founded in 2001 as the Mother Earth Collective Library, and was located in a house in the Oread Neighborhood of Lawrence for two years (though changing name in 2002 to the Black Cat Collective). In 2003, the library and community projects associated with the space were moved to a commercial location near 14th and Massachusetts Street in the Oread Neighborhood, and renamed the Solidarity Revolutionary Center and Radical Library. In late 2004, the Solidarity Center moved downtown to the former site of the Campus Hideaway Cafe at 1119 Massachusetts Street. In 2006, Solidarity made its final move to its current and most well known location at 1109 Massachusetts. Our current hours of operation: Sun-Thurs: 12pm-6pm Fri and Sat: 9am-9pm Mailing Address and contact info: Solidarity Revolutionary Center and Radical Library 1109 Massachusetts Street Lawrence, KS 66044 (785)865-1374
