proud is an understatement! @qtlibrary.org

Help.

Dear #BookSky Minneapolis has an absolutely incredible literary culture. In fact, three of the most important small presses call the city home; Coffeehouse Press, Graywolf, and Milkweed. There are also a ton of great bookstores in the Twin Cities. So here's the assignment...

Still remembering Shelf-ebration 💭 You all came out to #Boston's More Than Words in December to celebrate queer love and community. There were crafts, a QT Library toast, great speeches, and, of course, a lot of books. Stay tuned in 2026 for even more QT events! 📸 Adriana Arguijo Photography

That reminds us... we do have a Stitch & Bitch coming up! 🧶 Feb 5, 8 PM ET. Zoom. Be there. Do crafts! www.eventbrite.com/e/stitch-and...

2026 isn't off to a great start, but we at the QT Library are trendsetters and think all of these things should be in for this year. It involves way more books, queer joy, and letting us be who we are without fear. 💭 What are you aspiring to be in 2026?

it's honestly amazing how many folks have never met a trans woman, never spoken to a trans woman, never spent any time in our proximity or heard us talk about our lives, but feel ABSOLUTELY confident opining about us at length

This post is how YOU just found out about the QT Library

The January queer horror book club is featuring Summer Sons, ps!

Welcome back! We missed you. 🤗 That's why we can't wait to see you at one of our three free and virtual book clubs happening this month. Come chat about queer books or just hang out! You can RSVP to any of them on Eventbrite: https://loom.ly/-3Q8vh4

A holiday message from all of us to all of you. ❄️

That's it! 2025 is over. 🥳 While it was a rough one for our community (to say the least), it was a busy one for the QT Library, and we can't help but have a little hope for our future and that of the LGBTQIA+ community. Relive the highlights with us, and a toast to so much more in 2026!

hi divas. today's the last day of the @qtlibrary.org's 2026 Annual Campaign. if you're feeling inspired to support a new ("new") kind of queer space (a glorious lgbtqia+ library & community hub) amidst all the awful, please consider making a contribution or sharing something about our work today! 💕💕

🌱 Today is the FINAL DAY of our annual campaign! If you can give, your support will help us achieve our dream to — drumroll, please — open a pop-up in summer 2026! YOU can join us in making our dream an on-the-ground reality. #BookSky, let's see if we can get to $25K! https://loom.ly/mQH2k_0

Hi QTs! 📣 We have an exciting announcement 📣 For the first time in QT history, we have a paid employee! Congratulations are in order for our resident finance and paperwork connoisseur, Eve!

💭 We've come back to this video multiple times over the past few days. Things are Bad, but books are where you can be who you are. The QT Library will be that place, too. There are a FEW DAYS left in our annual campaign. Will you help build that place? secure.givelively.org/donate/92-39...

"When someone reads a book and sees a character who looks like them, loves like them, and lives a full vibrant life, that isn't just entertainment — it is permission. It is a mirror that says, "You are real, you have a lineage, and you belong here." 👏👏 ~ QT Library board member Jen Sarduy

HEY BOSTON LGBTQS (that's at least 3 of you) – come hang out with me TODAY and eat free snacks and meet other Boston LGBTQTs from 3 – 6 PM at More Than Words Bookstore!!! We're doing a takeover and celebrating the @qtlibrary.org!!!

I truly adore this list and want to add the @qtlibrary.org to the mix – we're building a physical home for a treasure trove of 3,200+ queer + trans books, far too many of which fall in the category of "banned" – your gift goes a long way in making this possible! Happy Holidays! Happy Holigays, even!

A story and update from the QT LIbrary 🌧️🌈

We got our 2025 music recap and it says we've listened to 300,000 minutes of Chappell Roan's "The Subway" because we're "too gay." Anybody else get that? Feels pointed.

Giving Tuesday might be over but it's always a good time to support the QT Library and the work of volunteers like David!

HEY SO THIS LIBRARY STARTED AS A LITTLE IDEA IN THE BACK OF MY BRAIN WITH NO MONEY AND NO INFRASTRUCTURE AND NOW SHE'S FULLY FABULOUS sorry to yell I'm just AHHHHHH

As a reminder, if you're in the Boston area and want to get some books today, you can support some amazing local orgs... including us! 💜

It's #GivingTuesday, and we'd like you to meet some very special people. Uh... I'm sorry, they're actually books 📚 You can give these books a permanent home by making a donation of ANY size to the QT Library today! https://loom.ly/mQH2k_0

me asking for donations to the @qtlibrary.org on BlueSky and Instagram and Facebook and LinkedIn and in my DMs

🗣️ Psst. This Cyber Monday sale means it's a great time to get us a book from our Bookshop.org wishlist 👉 bookshop.org/wishlists/57...

Are you a Boston girl / gay / they / ally?! Come to our FREE party on Saturday to meet other Boston girls / gays / theys / allies and learn about the @qtlibrary.org! We'll have everything! Books! Baddies! ME! More Than Words, 3 PM, open to all!

It's the last month of 2025 and there are still a lot of ways to support the QT Library, including one if you're looking to shop local tomorrow. Check out the 🧵~

💭 Have you been wanting to support the QT Library and not sure where to start? Well, December 2 is #GivingTuesday, and that just happens to be the perfect time! A little 🧵 on how to support the future of the QT Library and the queer and trans community:

It’s officially happening! I’ll be leading a table in some garden-themed games. Here’s some of the beautiful art from Mycelia, a game all about cultivating and identifying mushrooms. 🍄 🍄‍🟫 🎲 Join for games, some QT company, and maybe even get the library (or yourself) a book while you’re there!

This Thanksgiving, I'm gonna be extra feisty at the family dinner table. How bout you? What'll you be fighting for?

#Boston tabletop gamers: It's time to get planting 🎲 Come join us for some plant-themed board games and community fun at Pandemonium Books & Games in Cambridge, MA on December 13, from 1-5 PM. This event is FREE but space is limited so make sure to register early 👉https://loom.ly/e4h9xYM

EMPLOYEE? EMPLOYEE!! This was one of our lofty goals for last year's campaign and we did it!! 🥳🥳🥳

The QT Library, an upcoming queer and trans library and community space I volunteer for, is still looking for anybody who wants to support this work that means the world to me!

As we countdown to our end of year party, we fondly remember all the love we experienced at our celebration last year. ❄️ Games, crafts, a raffle, and great vibes really helped carry us through 2025 💜 RSVP to our Shelf-ebration this year and make more memories! https://loom.ly/wTnRbac

Are there queer and trans books that are strictly "Thanksgiving" in the way that "Addams Family Values" is a Thanksgiving movie? We have 3,000+ books but don't catalog them by holiday

reasons NOT to donate to the @qtlibrary.org:

@queerliblib.bsky.social bestiesssssssss

Shout out to @qtlibrary.org in Boston (which doesn't have a physical space yet, but has been doing a lot of book and community programming in the interim) and @queerliblib.bsky.social online!

I'm going to be helping run a plant-themed game night for @qtlibrary.org at Pandemonium in Cambridge for our "From Seed to Shelf" fundraiser on December 13. Possible games include Photosynthesis, Takenoko, Verdant, Botany, and Genotype. (Who doesn't love a game about Mendelian genetics?) Come join!

#TransgenderAwarenessWeek is over, but it's always time for some trans books in your life. 🏳️‍⚧️ That's the idea we took into our virtual Trans YA Book Club. We've collected the books we've picked so far and put them into this handy post for you, along with some bonus recs.

BIG NEWS. We reached the first $10K milestone. Thank you to everybody who helped us get there. We see you, we love you 💜

UPDATE: We are in the middle of our annual campaign and are just $66 AWAY from reaching $10K raised. Those are real numbers! You can help bring us one step closer to the LGBTQIA+ library and community space of our dreams with a donation of any size! secure.givelively.org/donate/92-39...
