Samvirkelaget Rosa Bøker is a bookshop with a special focus on politics, society, art and culture. The store offers a varied assortment that includes comics, quality literature and carefully selected products for both adults and children. As an independent actor, it functions as a power-critical source for knowledge dissemination and political debate.
In the premises at Schweigaards gate 51, book launches, author presentations and themed evenings are regularly arranged, which give visitors the opportunity to participate in literary discussions. In addition, reading circles are offered for those interested in literature, which promotes community and the sharing of reading experiences. The Rosa Bøker cooperative also has office space available for writers and researchers on a short-term basis, which provides a practical solution for those who need a workplace in a creative environment.
The bookshop was founded by an academic, librarian and local activist, who has helped to shape its identity and objectives.
