LENDING LIBRARY

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive” - James Baldwin.

When it comes to a sense of belonging, books often help those feeling lost to find themselves. Books allow us to see ourselves in others—a reminder that despite how it might feel, none of us are alone.

The Project is proud to support a lending library with works by queer, BIPOC, and women authors. As with other lending libraries, folx are welcome to take what they wish with the ask that materials are returned when finished.
