Wooden Shoe Books and Records is an all-volunteer collectively-run bookstore fostering community and activism based in Philadelphia. Since its founding in 1976, the Wooden Shoe has supported “radical and nontraditional” literature with a range of new and used books focused on social justice for both adults and children. Generally open daily from noon to 10:00 PM, it is best to call ahead to make sure they are open.
