free digital resource library
We believe in making information accessible and breaking down paywalls (including the paywall of university tuition). To that end, we are continually adding to our collection of more than 500 digital books, essays, links, lectures, recordings, etc. Most are in .pdf form, but for those in .epub format you may need e-reader software (we recommend calibre).
Feel free to browse and imagine yourself wandering through the aisles of our library. Maybe you’ll find something you want to gather some friends around in a book club. Or maybe you’ll see something you’re eager to discuss with us! Please email us at flatbushcommons@gmail.com if you’re inspired to host or be part of a study group. We would love to collaborate.
If you have any digital resources you don’t see listed below and would like to see on our virtual shelves, feel free to share them with us via email!
