Request from Your Public Library!

  • Paperbacks

         Many LGBT books are available through interlibrary loan. So ask! This encourages collection librarians to order copies for their own collection and stare down the bullies who want ALL LGBTQ+ books removed. It also helps authors! (Extra bonus: it helps the LGBT kids out there who fear to check out the book and will read it in the library.) A library should reflect the needs of their entire community. That means you too.

  • Ebooks and Audio Reading

        Ask your Librarian how to get eBooks and audiobooks via Libby or Hoopla! It's free. If your local library doesn't have the digital books you want, request them. See above about helping the author and LGBT teens. While many libraries readily order print LGBTQ books, the digital shelves are woefully bare.
         Want to broaden your choices? Check out the Queer Liberation Library and their free library card. There are many ways to read for free at the library, which means the author still gets paid. Don't participate in piracy.
