Everything you need to know about the 2026 Annual Campaign. It's time. #library #books #gay #lesbian #queer #trans #lgbtq πŸŒˆπŸ“š

Please join us for at our next nonfiction book club – November 17, 2026 at 7 PM on Zoom. We'll be discussing Black on Both Sides by C. Riley Snorton! Remember – though reading the book in advance of book club is recommended, it's certainly not required! RSVP on Eventbrite and dive in with us!

WEEK 1 RECAP: We've raised our first $4K from 50 different donors. We're grinning from ear to ear from all the love you've poured our way. We're fired the fork up and so are y'all. It's time to open this damn library!

We can't tell you what to do, but great info in here about the book ban bill in the House.

Dear #BookSky Minneapolis has an absolutely incredible literary culture. In fact, three of the most important small presses call the city home; Coffeehouse Press, Graywolf, and Milkweed. There are also a ton of great bookstores in the Twin Cities. So here's the assignment...

Still remembering Shelf-ebration πŸ’­ You all came out to #Boston's More Than Words in December to celebrate queer love and community. There were crafts, a QT Library toast, great speeches, and, of course, a lot of books. Stay tuned in 2026 for even more QT events! πŸ“Έ Adriana Arguijo Photography

That reminds us... we do have a Stitch & Bitch coming up! 🧢 Feb 5, 8 PM ET. Zoom. Be there. Do crafts! www.eventbrite.com/e/stitch-and...

eventbrite.comStitch and BitchA virtual time dedicated to crafting and queer camaraderie.

2026 isn't off to a great start, but we at the QT Library are trendsetters and think all of these things should be in for this year. It involves way more books, queer joy, and letting us be who we are without fear. πŸ’­ What are you aspiring to be in 2026?

it's honestly amazing how many folks have never met a trans woman, never spoken to a trans woman, never spent any time in our proximity or heard us talk about our lives, but feel ABSOLUTELY confident opining about us at length

This post is how YOU just found out about the QT Library

Kate / Katelyn Forrest@kateforrest.bsky.social

I just found out about the existence of @qtlibrary.org ... a group building a physical LGBTQ library in Boston. This is fantastic.

That's it! 2025 is over. πŸ₯³ While it was a rough one for our community (to say the least), it was a busy one for the QT Library, and we can't help but have a little hope for our future and that of the LGBTQIA+ community. Relive the highlights with us, and a toast to so much more in 2026!
