Queer Liberation Library

😍 a fave for sure

Amazing!!! I’m so glad you liked it! 😄

So fair. Awesome picks!! I’ve been meaning to read Before We Were Trans!!!

SO good!!!

What’s your favorite book you’ve read through QLL so far?

Thank you so much for using the library. Thank you for showing in hard numbers how much queer stories are loved and wanted. Here’s to another 500K and more! We love you so much! 🥰💜

We opened our digital doors to the community on October 23, 2023 and this month… we hit 500,000 all-time checkouts. Five! Hundred! Thousand!

In less than two and a half years, we’ve circulated queer stories over half a million times.

I am going to recommend two winter sports sapphic romances which are available in the Queer Liberation Library catalog:

⭐️Fire & Ice by @rachelspangler.rachelspangler.com (Olympic Curling 🥌)

⭐️Edge of Glory by Rachel Spangler (Olympic Snowboarding 🏂 & Skiing ⛷️)

🌈📚

(if you finished the book(s) and show and are desperate for more we’ve got a whole list of winter sports books, heavy on the hockey, you can check out!)

we might not have as many as NYPL, and they are flying off our digital shelves, but we did buy a few hundred copies of the 1st & 2nd audiobooks in the series just yesterday!

QLL 🤝 NYPL = helping as many people as possible read about your fave gay hockey boys for free

Mutual Aid by Dean Spade is free on Libro for the next week (until 2/2). 

We know that books can't fix everything, but they can help us show up for and strengthen our communities. Our employee book club read this last year, leading to a great discussion. We hope that it helps others do the same 💗 ⏬

The Queer Liberation Library is such a wonderful project—a digital library with free membership that connects “LGBTQ+ people with literature, information, and resources that celebrate the unique and empowering diversity of our community.”

QLL mention in Mariame Kaba’s substack?!?!!! 😭 open.substack.com/pub/prisoncu...

Thank you for every checkout, every share on socials, every comment, every message, every dollar. We're looking forward to building on everything we've created together next year and making QLL stronger than ever.

Here's to looking forward to 2026 with hope in our hearts.

Tonight we say farewell to 2025 and greetings to 2026. This year has been a gauntlet, but congratulations to everyone reading this - you made it! Whether you're inhaling shrimp cocktail, going to bed early, or anything in between, we're so happy you're here to welcome in the new year with us!
