November 20th is the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance. 🏳️‍⚧️ This is the day where we solemnly remember the lives of the trans members of our community who we lost to violence in the last year.

Native American Heritage Month and Two Spirit and Indigiqueer are both lists full of books written by Indigenous authors across Turtle Island that we love.

Frame 1: A blue background with green font that says “Native American Heritage Month” framed by black wavy lines. In a light green box, a line map of Turtle Island. With pink boxed framing them, there are two book covers from the QLL NAHM list: Buffalo is the new Buffalo by Chelsea Vowel and Making Love with the Land by Joshua Whitehead.

Frame 2: A blue background with pink font that says “Two Spirit & Indigiqueer” framed by black wavy lines. With pink boxed framing them, there are two book covers from the QLL Two Spirit and Indigiqueer list: This Town Sleeps by Dennis E. Staples and Queer Indigenous Studies edited by Qwo-Li Driskill, Chris Finley, and Brian Joseph Gilley.

It’s Native American Heritage Month!  

We’re celebrating all of the Two Spirit and Indigiqueer people in our community, along with their stories! We put together a couple lists of books focused on Indigenous perspectives that you can check out on Libby!

Go to our Libby page to check out our eerie and ghoulish rec lists for the season. We’ve got everything from cozy autumnal all the way up to ghastly horror 🦇

Trick or treat! Smell my feet! Give me something gay to read!

Below is a green monster man with empty black eyes and a fanged smile reading a book with a small child at bedtime. Beside them, there’s a bright pink dot with white text inside that says, “Read queer horror”

Hey QLL! 🖤👻

The season of screams and scares is upon us! Creepy crawlies are everywhere! We've got a spectrum of Halloween-type lists for you to explore!

If you happen to be having any issues with your verification process, reach out to troubleshoot@queerliberationlibrary.org

Thank you for your patience!

Dark purple background with an off-white text box. Inside, in thin black text, it says “Verification is back!” Below that are three blue flower-shaped bullet points. The first says “We got that stuff back up and running ASAP!” The second says, “Your verification emails should be working again!” The third says, “Please reach out and let us know if you are still having any issues with the authentication and verification process!” Below that, in a small, thin green text box there is black text that says, “Thank you for ur patience, love u!”

Thanks to the quick-thinking and speed-typing of our tech support, the authentication system is back up and running again! If you are prompted to re-verify your QLL card, you should be able to do so.

We are working to get this back up and running as fast as possible for you! We’re so sorry for the inconvenience. :(

Bad news, y’all! Our authentication system is currently down. We’re working on fixing it, but it looks like it will take around 48 hours for things to get back to normal. For the moment, you won’t be able to re-verify your library card if you are prompted to do so in Libby.

we’ve got you covered: libbyapp.com/interview/lo...

Censorship has no place in a free, literate, and educated society. Access to literature, information, and resources is that support our communities is vital. QLL is here for the fight to keep access open.

This week, we’re celebrating and highlighting books that have been challenged, targeted, censored, and banned. Check out our Banned Books Week list in Libby to see the titles in our collection that have had challenges to their names. libbyapp.com/library/quee...
