The Peace Nook is a non-profit, volunteer-based community resource center operated by Peaceworks. The Nook is an information and social change activism referral center. It is also a storefront offering books, music, environmental products, fair trade imports, posters, jewelry, T-shirts, natural foods and much, much more!

All proceeds from the Peace Nook support the educational work of Mid-Missouri Peaceworks. As an educational non-profit, we charge no tax.

Nook volunteers are always needed. If you have a couple of hours a week to spare and would like to lend a hand in our wonderful non-profit store and community resource center, we'd love to have your help.

We invite you to visit the Peace Nook and help us promote a socially just, peaceful world as well as a sustainable future.

Vote With Your Dollars: Each purchase we make is a vote. Whenever we shop, we transfer dollars--green energy--to the business or organization we buy from. If you support Peaceworks' mission, we urge you to check out the opportunities to manifest this support in a substantial fashion, while pleasing many on your list with wonderful, unique gifts. We feature:

Alternative Bookstore: Offering readers a multi-cultural mix, The Peace Nook stocks more than 3,000 titles, including progressive literature and politics, feminist, African American, LGBT, Native American, personal growth and spirituality, holistic health, sustainable living and vegetarian cooking.

The Peace Nook regularly saves you 17 percent on books (no tax + 10 percent book club credit). We also save you 27 percent immediately on best sellers and staff picks.

Fair Trade Import Headquarters: You can trust out imported products are not made in sweatshops. We have a wide array of imports that are made by cooperatives and imported by fair trade distributors that ensure the craftspeople earn a decent living wage.

Progressive Message Products: T-shirts, posters, buttons, stickers, patches and more feature progressive messages.

Music of the World: World, women's, new age, Native American, Celtic, meditation, acoustic and folk.

Natural Foods & Environmental Products: Compact fluorescent bulbs that save energy and money make good gifts, as well as eco-friendly products, natural foods and body products. Fair Trade and organic chocolate bars make good stocking stuffers.

Tell a Friend: Most businesses allocate a substantial amount of money for advertising. We hope that word of mouth can help us keep our prices low. We thank you in advance for helping us to do this.

For our part, we will continue to provide diverse reading, fair trade imports, holiday cards and calendars, environmental products, music, jewelry, etc. at affordable prices with no tax. All the proceeds support Peaceworks. (To View Mid-Missouri Peaceworks Wiki Click Here)
