We've been highlighting some of the programs of the Center for Sustainable Living, an organization that acts as an umbrella for nonprofit ideas that might be too small to be their own 501(c)(3). One of the constituent organizations in the CSL incubator is Redbud Books, which opened just over a year ago at 408 W. Kirkwood. A one-room bookstore entirely run by volunteers and open seven days a week, it also acts as a community center. Redbud screens movies, hosts meetings and stages events through arts and youth programming grants from the city, county and IU. We speak with two founding members of the collective that runs Redbud Books, Mia Beach and Hannah Airriess, about their effort to build community in a time when that goal seems to be receding.
