Happy Birthday, QLL!

Wow. Wow, wow, wow. 

A year. 12 months. 365 days*. 525,600 minu— well, you get the idea. Honestly? When we started working on this project, we were really hoping it would survive the first year. And today, on our first anniversary, we’re overjoyed and honored to say it happened! Thanks to you - your interest, your generosity, your patronage - QLL is about to take steps into their second year of service. We are thrilled.

And you know what? We decided that the QLL community needed a birthday present. 

CHECK OUT THIS MERCH DROP!

You can purchase a long-sleeve shirt with the QLL logo for $29.99. We made sure to remove the words Queer Liberation Library from the logo for those who might want to have something a little more subtle. Keep warm by a bonfire this fall with long sleeves and the warmth of a queer book in your hands!

And then… A MUG! (We are so pumped for this one, folks.) Pour your spiced cider, your hot cocoa, your coffee, your mulled wine, your incongruous cold beverage into this QLL / READ QUEER BOOKS mug! Sip on a drink under a cozy blanket and read some queer books while autumn colors fall outside your window. The mug costs $24.99.

As always, our merch is union-made in the US through Worx, so you can be sure what you’re spending is going back to the people who make these cool things for us, and then back into the library to keep us running  full speed towards our second birthday.

Thank you so much for an incredible first year! Let’s have another!

P.S. Don't forget to fill out our one year survey!

*Technically this year was a leap year and had 366 days, but I will simply have my RENT joke, reality can go kick rocks.
