We've reached our first $1,000!! that's like... one very expensive book. Or 1,000 very cheap books. Only $99,000 to go 😅 secure.givelively.org/donate/92-39...

The QT Library (where I volunteer) has just kicked off our annual campaign. You can help in many ways: donating, volunteering, spreading the word, coming to events... If you have questions, I'm happy to answer! (And stay tuned for more — I have something up my sleeve for later in the campaign!)

ANYWAY WE'RE BUILDING A GAY LIBRARY AND WE NEED YOUR HELP (ask me how)

🧵The QT Library, an upcoming brick-and-mortar LGBTQIA+ library and community space in the Boston area, is doing something big. We're looking to raise $100K and get a new influx of volunteers while celebrating our community and the resilience of the queer and trans community! Join us!

🌱 A small seed is capable of turning into a beautiful garden. Likewise, from the simple idea of liberation and hope, QT Library has sprung up. Introducing From Seed to Shelf: the QT Library's annual campaign! Donate, volunteer, RSVP... help us grow today: https://loom.ly/MRSIouU

Check out this author talk to hear about the new generation of queer leaders. It’s online, so you can do it from the comfort of your own home!

So excited for this! Please help spread the word 📚

NEXT WEEK: We are honored to be hosting @kimmtopping.bsky.social for a digital author talk about their inspiring debut book "Generation Queer," a collection of stories about 30 young LGBTQIA+ leaders shaping our world 🙌 RSVP now over on Eventbrite 👉 https://loom.ly/seCXr2A #BookSky

One of the first books we ever added to our collection was "Miss Major Speaks: Conversations with a Black Trans Revolutionary." It's powerful, of the moment, and so very special. RIP to a legend.

Or maybe a library 👀 Since you can help build out our collection by buying a book off or @bookshop.org wishlist and all that bookshop.org/shop/qtlibrary

Happy fall 🍁

We hope that in 100 years, people will be going through old QT Library books and finding withered pride flags and Gideon the Ninth fanart doodles.

Can confirm. We have many 30s-40s queers!

How do you find your place in the larger queer community when you come out later in life? Many of us have been there, which is why we started the Late in Life Affinity Group. And we'll be meeting again next week! RSVP for our virtual (and anonymous!) group 👉 https://loom.ly/Hbd_DXg

FUN FACT: It takes a lot of space to store around 2,500 books. 🫠 We quickly outgrew our current storage space for our LGBTQIA+ book collection. Thankfully, we were able to find a much bigger space just down the hall! Now we can admire the potential of our little library! 😍

We just hit 200 followers on Bluesky. We have over 5,000 on Instagram, so only... *does math* Uh oh we're librarians and bad at math.

We're back from our break with not one but THREE book clubs in Sept. 😈 Trans YA: "Pet" by Akwaeke Emezi 🚀 Sapphic Sci-Fi & Fantasy: "Junker Seven" by @olivejkelley.bsky.social 🧱 Queer Nonfiction: "The Stonewall Reader" by NYPL RSVP! https://loom.ly/-3Q8vh4

QT UPDATE: We are on ☀️summer break ☀️ The QT Library will be closed from Aug. 17 through Sept. 1, so we'll be back fresh, clear, and ready to do the library thing on Sept. 2. You'll still see some pre-scheduled posts, but take this as our official OOO response. We'll be back soon 💜

Here's a look back at some summertime fun with the QT Library! ☀️ While we're excited to share what we're cooking up for the fall (soon!), we'll still be basking in these sunny Chosen Family Reunion Pride Picnic photos by Adriana Arguijo for months to come. https://loom.ly/-kGOkEw

I volunteer with them sometimes! They're a good group and there's a lot of work that can be done remotely.

This website craves librarians, broadly speaking

The QT Library urge to just put "Gender Queer" by Maia Kobabe on every book recommendation list ✌️ Horror list? "Gender Queer." Sci-fi list? "Gender Queer." A list of books that aren't "Gender Queer?" "Gender Queer"

Bad things don't stop existing just because you ignore them. That's one of the many messages in the short and uniquely sweet "Pet" by Akwaeke Emezi, which we'll chat about in our next Trans YA Book Club 🏳️‍⚧️ 📅 Sept. 9, 7-8 PM ET 💻On Zoom RSVP and find out more 👉 https://loom.ly/BLKbP4Q

Pride Month over 🥺 Wrath Month hello 👀

Somebody get our co-founder out of book storage, they have things to say!!

The reason I'm helping to build the @qtlibrary.org is that I fully believe that LGBTQIA+ books can change the world for somebody. Representation is so important to understanding that you are perfect the way you are and belong. This is disgusting. These poor kids.

fun fact I co-founded the @qtlibrary.org in part because when I searched "queer library" on Google the first result was the Aesop Queer Library and I knew that something ... something had to be done about that

It's the 10th anniversary of Obergefell vs Hodges. Our community, our world changed forever. It's why we are the way we are. 💑 And this interview is an important read. www.npr.org/2025/06/26/n...

Looking for something queer and trans to read this summer? We've got some options... and also some virtual book clubs if you want to discuss them too! 📚 #BookSky Info in the replies 👇
