What is an Infoshop?
The Santa Barbara Infoshop is a local part of a worldwide movement to provide space and resources for ideas and activities that are difficult to find in chain bookstores and for-profit spaces.
An infoshop is a volunteer-run reading room, library and community center that offers information on issues such as politics, race and anti-racism, the environment, feminism, anti-authoritarian ideas and movements, alternative economics, gay and lesbian studies, social theory, history, fiction, non-fiction, and creative non-fiction.
Infoshops also typically serve to support local movements for social justice, environmental protection, peace, democracy, and political and economic liberation.

The Santa Barbara Infoshop is run by the Santa Barbara Infoshop Collective, which consists of locals
and transplants from varying ages and backgrounds, who all share a
desire to build community and support democratic social movements. We
pool our resources and time in order to create and support this space that we feel our community is in need of.
The SB Infoshop Collective has meetings at the Infoshop (421 Alisos) every Thursday at 6 PM. The meeting is open to those who would like to contribute resources or volunteer, and would like to be a part of this project. Decisions are made through group consensus, and without group officers.
