Who We Are

Located in the exciting West Bank community in Minneapolis, May Day Bookstore is a volunteer collective dedicated to selling left-wing literature and providing a space for political education and camaraderie. We are a non-profit organization with a progressive educational mission, independent of the corporate fat cats who run the country and control the media. We provide to the Twin Cities public quality political books sold at a discount rate of 15% below the cover price and a wide assortment of political magazines, newspapers, and zines.

Mayday Books is also a progressive political hub for educational events and information on social movements in the Twin Cities. We regularly host public events and even group meetings. Please call the store directly to reserve the store for such an event or meeting). We publicize all public events held at Mayday through leaflets, which you can pick up at our store, and through the Event Calendar connected with this website. If you want to receive bi-monthly email updates on activities at the store, send an email to Corey Mattson at coreymattson@maydaybookstore.org.
