Queer Liberation Library @queerliblib.bsky.social · Nov 15
Wow, hi new followers, hey! We’re Queer Liberation Library.

QLL is a digital library of queer ebooks & audiobooks available FOR FREE to anyone in the US. Our collection’s in Libby so you can read to your heart's content on your e-reader, phone, etc.

membership details downthread~
A scrapbooky, zine-like image. In the top left corner there’s a picture of a young kid in rainbow face paint waving a rainbow flag atop a woman's shoulders, as they both watch a pride parade. A photo of a group of people, young and old, carrying a pink LESBIAN & GAY PRIDE banner is seen in the bottom center. Top right, a picture of two gorgeous drag queens: one in a light pink wig and white dress decked in butterflies, and the other literally dressed as Lady Liberty in a rainbow toga. Text throughout, in mismatched fonts and on torn paper, reads "Q: So, what is QLL? a: Queer Liberation Library is an ONLINE DIGITAL LIBRARY …that is by and for the LGBTQIA+ community and our allies, focusing on queer materials and queer perspectives.”

Censorship has no place in a free, literate, and educated society. Access to literature, information, and resources is that support our communities is vital. QLL is here for the fight to keep access open.

Honoring our shared history will keep us connected to each other and to our queer ancestors. There is queer history in every culture, on every continent, among all peoples.

October is our month to remember, reflect, and celebrate the history of the queer community. Queer people have been part of the fabric of humanity and culture since the dawn of time. We have always existed and we always will.

Today in what’s good: the Queer Liberation Library!

This digital library offers free membership & a delightful offering of queer books through the Libby App.

As a library kid in the 90s, I didn’t have access to many queer books. This collection warms my heart. 😍

Thank you, folks who supported @queerliblib.bsky.social! My team raised over $300 and I’ve suggested @tanyahuff.bsky.social’s Direct Descendant for the collection, which is a delightful queer horror novel that everyone should read! You should be able to check it out from QLL soon!

Great work here from @heykellyjensen.bsky.social on the Mahmoud v. Taylor decision.

What does Mahmoud v. Taylor mean for LGBTQ+ books, curriculum, and students in American public schools?

A look at the ruling, its ties to where and how the Establishment Clause is interpreted, the chilling effect this will have, and what we need to be doing.

Supreme Court Says Parents Can "Opt Out" Of Positively-Affirming LGBTQ+ Public School Lessons
Mahmoud vs Taylor asked whether or not parents could opt their children out of public classroom lessons that positively depict LGBTQ+ people.

***LAST CALL***

Library workers–have you already experienced pushback, censorship, or attacks on your plans for Pride 2025?

I'm again collecting those stories for an article in mid-July.

Details in the form, w/ previous stories.

tinyurl.com/pride-in-libraries-25
Colorful graphic that has a rainbow in the top left corner. At the center, it reads "Pride Month Attacks in Libraries 2025" with a circle of words saying "share your experiences." Beneath that pink text box, there is more pink text saying "Share your stories at https://tinyurl.com/pride-in-libraries-25."

Thank you thank you THANK YOU to everyone who has donated to and shared our 2025 Pride campaign this month! We couldn’t have done it without you. <3

A background of watercolor painting reminiscent of rainbow tree rings (or a fingerprint, or fruit stripe bubble gum), over which there is a wonky white square containing the words “Pride Fundraiser” beside the QLL logo. Below these, the words “LAST CHANCE TO DONATE!”
