Upcoming events.
The Lavender Library hosts free, fun, and safe events that celebrate our LGBTQ+ identity and intentionally build community right here in Sacramento. We hope to see you soon!
LLACE is a Community Space
We frequently get requests to use the space for community groups, events, event series, special projects, and other rad projects our community is working on. On this page, you’ll find a mix of events hosted by the Lavender Library and others held at the library but hosted by other community groups.
Is your queer vision in need of an event space? Let us know!
