You know how sometimes meetings are awesome and sometimes meeting suck? Usually we blame it on the people who happened to be at the meeting, "Gee, that guy was disruptive or dominating," or "Everybody seemed scattered and disorganized." However, it is seldom recognized that the facilitator of a meeting makes the difference between successful and sucktastic. For those of us who lead meetings often or occasionally, this book comes to the rescue!
The Facilitators Guide to Participatory Decision Making is a highly-accessible and concise manual to running successful meetings that feel good. As a member of numerous consensus-based collectives, I quickly saw how our meetings and decision-making could be vastly improved by reading this book.
SubRosa is a non-profit, donation-funded space in downtown Santa Cruz for art and radical projects run by a collective of volunteers from the local anarchist community. It offers anarchist books, zines, and music. The space also houses the Anarchist Lending Library, featuring books on anarchy, Situationists, history, politics, ecology, indigenous studies, feminism and psychology that might not be available in the local library.

Wobblies!: A Graphic History of the Industrial Workers of the World
On wish list. Consider donating for Anarchist Library.
This is one of the best illustrated histories, that is, a graphic novel dealing with the subject of history, I've discovered. Lots of writers, lots of artists. Emma Goldman, Big Bill Haywood, Joe Hill. A reminder that anarchists helped bring you the eight hour day and the weekend. Full of variety and stories of everyone over 100 years of IWW history. Essential reading. (Review by Wes)
