Info

Iron Rail Book Collective was a volunteer-run radical library and anarchist bookstore in New Orleans, Louisiana. The original address was 511 Marigny St. from 2003 to mid-2011 and then 503 Barracks St. until February 2014. Currently, only pop-up versions of the bookstore occasionally appear in various venues in New Orleans. As of September 2017, their personal site and Facebook page have not been updated in since 2015 and 2016 respectively. The Iron Rail's main focus was a lending library featuring a wide selection of books on topics including anarchism and socialism, fiction, gardening and philosophy. The Iron Rail also sold records, zines, local CDs and some miscellany. Events held at the Iron Rail included workshops and art presentations.
The Iron Rail also contained the Above Ground Zine Library with a selection of thousands of zines, some very rare.
