Global justice connections
The Book Corner is committed to stocking gifts and products that provide fair income for the world’s poor.
Taste of justice
Gourmet coffee, tea, and chocolate are provided through Lutheran World Relief’s Fair Trade Coffee Project. Your purchases can help small-scale coffee farmers survive, because more of the money you spend reaches the farmers who actually grow these products.
Fairly-traded gifts
Fairly-traded handicrafts from around the world come to us through three networks of artisans:
Women’s self-sufficiency
- Original T-Bag Designs from Cape Town, South Africa, offers handsome creations made from recycled tea bags.
- The Women’s Bean Project is dedicated to transforming the lives of women. This group specializes in bean soups and salsas.
- The Enterprising Kitchen, a Chicago social project helping change women’s lives, furnishes natural soaps.
Life and faith
Other vendors provide distinctive gift items that are expressive of a life of faith:
- Brass wall crosses from Creator Mundi
- Fine jewelry from Minnesota artist Deirdre Olson
- Art on consignment from local artists
- CDs from Lutheran college choirs
Book Corner hours
- Sunday mornings
- First Saturdays, 5:30-6 p.m.
- Wednesdays during the school year, 6-7 p.m.
