Today I learned from one of the fantastic librarians at @hardcover that there is a library of e-books and audiobooks with a selection that fills in the gap left by your local library’s decision to either deprioritize or deprive you of LGBTQ+ books.
If you’ve been frustrated by the selection available at your local library, check out the Queer Liberation Library!
I'm reading the Queer Liberation Library's monthly newsletter and this made me laugh.
How does someone check out .5 of an item? I was an English major, so I assume the reason is math.
Looking for my next book, I didn't vibe with anything on my TBR here. So I went onto the Queer Liberation Library and looked for books there and ran into The Red Scholar's Wake by @[email protected] and remembered I wanted to read that. So that's what I picked!
The QLL's copy is checked out atm, so I got it from one of the other libraries I have a card with, but still. I found it there. <3
(It's National Library Card Signup Month, so check them out at www.queerliberationlibrary.org )
