Reserve Materials

Each Saturday and Sunday from 12-3:00PM Lavender Library volunteers will be onsite to support your queer media needs. Simply search our catalogue of DVDs, graphic novels, young adult epics, or general collection to find just what you're looking for. Then, reserve the materials and when the library opens on the weekend, our volunteers will be in touch.

On March 13th, 2020 the Lavender Library shut its doors to patrons accessing materials and the unhoused community members who regularly sought respite in the space. For over two years the Lavender Library has been closed and as a result has been significantly impacted financially.

We launched a new effort to allow community members to donate on a monthly basis so we can continue to be community-funded and volunteer-run!
