Library
Welcome to the boom saloon library: an all new project designed to get books and magazines from the boom saloon community into the hands of our members around the world. The library’s collection is wholly unique – spanning art, architecture, design, photography, literature and social change – with each publication selected for its ability to question assumptions, document lived experience, introduce unfamiliar perspectives or imagine different futures. It brings together independent publications from boom saloon, our members, contributors and wider community, selected because they have something meaningful to say about the world we inhabit and the world we could create. Borrowing is exclusive to boom saloon members, who are encouraged to share their thoughts and reflections within the cover of each publication – creating a global conversation highlighting the role of paper and ink in driving positive social change.
Launching January 2027!
