Become an FCP Library Member

A community membership program and shared space for reading, deep thought, and collective care.

At the Foundation for Community Psychoanalysis, our library is more than a collection of books—it’s a quiet, light-filled space for reflection, study, and gathering. Located in Downtown Brooklyn and home to a growing collection of psychoanalytic and critical texts, the FCP Library offers space for those reading, writing, thinking, and organizing toward care.

Through our new Library Membership Program, we’re opening our doors more widely—with sliding-scale options that invite students, practitioners, researchers, and mission-aligned organizations to use the space, access resources, and join a community committed to depth, inquiry, and mental health justice.
