Library

BPEC's library has over 3,000 books and videos, covering a wide range of subjects from social justice and peace to sustainable development and the environment. Members of BPEC can borrow up to 4 books or videos for up to 3 weeks (find out how to become a member). Feel free to write a review on any book you borrow, and we will consider it for inclusion on our website. Just e-mail it to info@bpec.org, putting 'book review' in the subject line.

Computers

We have two public access computers available for use during our opening hours. BPEC members can use them for research, campaign work and online activism, at no charge. The computers are running Ubuntu Linux (with KDE) and have both Firefox and Opera web browsers. We regret that we can only support web surfing (using the browser), and no other applications. We are using Linux as it extends the life of these machines.
