The Aquarium Steampunk Reading Room is the largest private, independent, green marketing research & reference library in the country.

We are seeking assistance to keep the space open, to keep up the rent.

It is a project of the Environmental Library Fund founded in 1984. The library

found a physical space in 2010. It has been at this location in Norwalk, Connecticut since then.

The collection chronicles the history of the environmental movement as a pop culture phenomena, focused on assisting green businesses and start ups position their new products and services in a competitive marketplace.

The Collection

Present are tens of thousands of books, magazines, other periodicals, technical journals, DVDs,.. constantly updated to remain current.

Green Design & Architecture
Green Business & Marketing
Nuclear Power & Electric Vehicles
Alternative Politics & Activism
New Energy & Science
Style, Trends & Fashion
Art, Pop & Fringe Culture
Alternative Health & Medicine
World Religions & Spirituality
Bioelectromagnetism

Why we need your support

Rent in Fairfield County is expensive. While already partially funded by silent contributors, it is no longer enough to cover all its expenses.

The library is open to the public by appointment. It is a permanent collection, materials do not circulate, are always available in their integrity to researchers traveling long distances to come visit.

Who benefits

Countless companies, groups, activists, organizers have benefited greatly from the intellectual environment provided by the space. Unlike surfing the net, the physical experience of holding printed materials, touching photographs, inspires.

The Aquarium was slang for think tank at the KGB, the old Soviet Union spy agency.

The entire space is lit with daylight LED tubes.
