It also functions as a planning and information centre for Peoples Global Action.
History of the project
LARC was purchased in the autumn of 1999 by people active in Reclaim the Streets, just after their success in the Carnival against Capitalism which occurred June 18th 1999. It was rebuilt over three years.
The library was set up to run on the principles of the Antisystemic Library on June 18, 2003. A split in the User Group over claims of institutional racism and of fascist infiltration of Peoples' Global Action. of which LARC is one of the founding info-points, led to the expulsion of the No Platform group West Essex Zapatista at the December 2004 AGM of the company. This led to the forced departure of the Voice Refugee Forum and eventually the relocation of the Antisystemic Library. Many of the books and resources, however, were retained by the LARC library.
