The Peace and Justice Reference Library


The Institute maintains a growing collection of books (including children's books), magazines, and audio and video tapes related to a wide variety of topics of justice and peace. Our collection includes signed copies of recent books by President Jimmy Carter, local scholar Marco Portales, ex-death row inmate Randall Dale Adams, and bilingual storyteller Joe Hayes. The library is free and open to all; materials may be made available on loan for limited periods of time. It is located at Friends Congregation Church, 2200 Southwood Dr., in College Station, TX.
