that happened on their volunteer shift. Over the period of time the original store was open, the journals would be the main piece of history as to what happened at the store. This was lost as well. Fundraising, work and reopening Fundraising for Spartacus Books came in the way of numerous donations, and the efforts of the collective and supporters over the years between April 2004 and November 2005. They received money, used books and other donated items from the now-shut down Granville Book Company, which allowed the store to get space and shelving. In November 2005, the new space opened its doors to the public for a book release. However, the book store was not yet open for business. For example, there was no heat or electricity. By February 2006, Spartacus was back with a volunteer list of over 60 people. 2013 renoviction In late 2012, new landlords bought the building that Spartacus Books is in. Soon after, the new landlords terminated Spartacus' lease and told Spartacus to vacate the premises by July 31, 2013. This eviction notice was cancelled following media attention to Spartacus's 'renoviction'. The landlord announced that he would not be renewing the lease, which ran through to the end of July 2014. Commercial Drive locations At the end of June 2014, Spartacus Books moved to a new storefront at 3378 Findlay St. This location across the street from the Croatian Cultural Centre, near Trout Lake and at the south end of Commercial Drive was a less-central location in a mixed-use area. By October 2020, volunteers learned that the Findlay St building where the shop was located had been sold. The store was already in a precarious lease situation at the time and a search began to find a new location for the bookstore. In the fall of 2021, the space just north of 4th and Commercial became available for lease and plans were put into place for relocation. In December 2021, Spartacus Books announced that the store was re-locating via a fundraiser to help with the costs of moving. As of February 2022, Spartacus Books is now located at 101 - 1983 Commercial Drive. Community Space Spartacus Books is a bookstore that is run by a collective which operates on a horizontal consensus decision making structure.
