Welcome to the Civic Media Center
If you have realized that the news you get in the mainstream press isn’t really comprehensive or even truthful, and that a lot of news and views are filtered out of the mainstream press outlets, libraries, and thus, public debate, then you’ve found a home.
We are one of the few alternative libraries in the U.S. We carry over ten-thousand books, journals, ‘zines, videotapes, audio tapes, and newspapers by independent, non-corporate press on a wide variety of subjects.
We’re a true 501.c3 non-profit, supported by memberships, donations, community volunteers, and several community groups in Gainesville, Florida which use the Center regularly as a meeting place or office space, and make regular donations.
