Initiated by Dr. Heidi R. Lewis, the Feminist & Gender Studies Free Library Project aims to amplify our courses and to inspire and support the intellectual curiosities of folks in the Colorado College and Colorado Springs communities. Each block starting this year, a faculty member in the department will donate books from their collection that are central to the course they’re teaching. Community members can then take a book or two at any time, for free! Most free libraries understandably recommend those who take a book to give one in return. However, ours is a bit different. Those who take don’t have to give. We simply want to give back to our community and communicate our scholarly and pedagogical commitments more broadly. For as Toni Morrison notes, “Books are a form of political action. Books are knowledge. Books are reflection. Books change your mind.”
