Catalogue and Borrowing




Our online catalogue can be found here!  The catalogue is curated by the collective and is updated regularly. To borrow books from the Library you first need to become a member, which can be done by a caretaker at the library.


  • Membership comes with a deposit of $30, or $20 concession.* This will be returned in full at the end of your membership, unless any books have been damaged or lost.
  • A maximum of two books per person can be on loan at any time
  • Membership can be paused or cancelled at any time
  • To pause or cancel your membership, please email incendiumradicallibrary@gmail.com with bank details or to organise for the money to be collected from the library
  • If any books have not been returned or are damaged, the amount it costs to replace them will be deducted from your deposit upon return
  • The loan period is three weeks (no sticker)
  • High demand books can be borrowed for one week (green sticker)
  • We have some books that cannot be borrowed, these are of high value or out of print and we cannot replace them (red sticker), you are welcome to read these in the library during our opening hours
  • Please contact via email to return your books whilst we are looking for a new space.


We can send books outside of Narrm/Melbourne if you pay for return postage, please contact us via email for this.


Incendium Radical Library is currently looking for a new space.


IRL is situated on the land of the Wurundjeri & Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation. We stand on this land as beneficiaries of an uncompensated and unreconciled dispossession which began over 200 years ago and continues today.
