Queer stories are powerful and our voices can never be silenced
Our circulating collection of books is broken into nonfiction and fiction. Our nonfiction section includes travel, trivia, history, prehistory, archeology, anthropology, sociology, community, movements, government/politics, economics, business, technology, education, psychology/health, nature, philosophy, religion, culture, and leisure. Our fiction section includes poetry, plays, short stories, science fiction and fantasy, mystery, detective, action and adventure, humor, and erotica.
We do have some books, magazines, and other archives that are a part of our special collection. These materials are not available for check out, but patrons may view the materials at the library.
