Although it will be a bookstore with an offer for all ages and tastes, it will specialize in “international thought, culture and fighting”. Objective: “To become aware of the tools and face the pessimism of reason, building the alternative from the optimism of will.” With the aim of “enjoying, thinking and organizing” the Basque Country, the Basque works will have a “central place” and will open with a fund of 3,500 books that will be completed. In the cafeteria they will offer cafes, infusions, toast, shakes and other products to sweeten the mouth, giving priority to small and nearby producers.

It will also develop other initiatives such as the Eva Forest Library, the Txoko of Children, the Kuttunak or the presentation of books. The developer of the Eva Forest Library is a team of seven people, “who before the project we joined other projects and movements of Vitoria”. The project has been baptized as a militant, writer and editor Eva Forest.
