Hello everyone!

Here is the August newsletter for Internationalist Books and Community 
Center. You can also follow us on Facebook for more news and info about 
events and happenings at the shop:www.facebook.com/internationalistbooks.

First of all, here are some updates on the big news we shared recently 
about the move! Our new location will be 101 Lloyd St. in Carrboro, 
where we'll be subletting from The Merch. We're beginning work on the 
new space this month, and are projecting a grand opening sometime in 
September. We'll keep folks updated on the progress of the move, on 
opportunities to help with the new space, and on meetings we're planning 
to gather the members and community to share goals and desires for the 
new space. A major fundraising campaign is in the works, and we'd love 
help and support from all of y'all. In the meantime, info about the move 
and how to financially contribute can be found at 
www.internationalistbooks.org.

1) Maggie McNeill Reading, August 18th

Monday, August 18th at 7pm

Though popular blogger Maggie McNeill is best known for her perceptive, 
witty and razor-sharp essays on the facts about and issues surrounding 
sex work, her short fiction has also been highly praised. This book, her 
first published collection, contains thirty-seven stories ranging from 
fantasy to reality and from comedy to horror, whose heroines are all 
quite different from one another but have one thing in common: 
membership in the world's oldest profession.

2) Political Prisoner Letter Writing Night, August 20th

The Internationalist Prison Books Collective brings you our monthly 
Political Prisoner Letter Writing Night. Write letters and birthday 
cards to political prisoners with birthdays in the month of August.

Bring friends, snacks and money to help with postage!

Writing letters is a great way to support prisoners and let our 
political prisoners know they are loved and not forgotten. Check out

with friends or write from home if you can't join us for letter writing 
night!

4) Prison Books Workdays Every Sunday, Support Prisoners By Becoming A 
Sustaining Donor!

Prison Books Workdays Every Sunday from 1 - 4 in Carrboro. Check out 
prisonbooks.info for more information.

For 7 years the Internationalist Prison Books Collective has been sending
books and resource guides, for free, to thousands of prisoners all over
the South. Whether a prisoner is teaching themselves to read, filing a
grievance, or organizing on the inside, we are a lifeline.

We need your help! Due to an increase in requests, we desperately need
people to help open prisoners' letters and fill packages. It's a simple
and fulfilling way to make a difference and show people they aren't
forgotten.

Please make a monetary donation topay for postage and supplies to help 
us continue this vital work.
