The Bookshop Co-op

Stevens Point, WI

The Bookshop Co-op, based in Stevens Point, WI, is a justice-driven cooperative mobile and popup bookstore, and vehicle for education and community building. We do this by selling consciousness raising books, documentaries, board and tabletop games, as well as sponsoring events and programs such as poetry slams/ spoken word open mics, cooperative game nights, pet adoption, writer workshops, and other events, to fulfill our mission of fostering societal transformations through access to knowledge. We believe that every community deserves organizations that push the public consciousness to engage with the world more critically and approach each other with radical kindness. We also know that it's not enough to just know that inequalities exist but to instead have a critical and class-conscious approach to understanding why these issues exist and what we can all do to make the systems we interact with more equitable. We're more than just a bookshop; we're a force for good in our community.
