“A group of librarians recently launched a free online LGBTQ+ library with more than a thousand ebooks and audiobooks that anyone in the United States can access.”
“We saw an opportunity to create something without geographic constraints, making it timely and accessible nationwide, especially in places with severe reading material restrictions.”
“An online library featuring hundreds of LGBTQ+ titles is working to combat book bans in the US, and provide a “sense of home and safety” for queer young people.”
“Though the QLL may not be able to provide the small joys of browsing cozy corridors of shelves and perusing time-worn book spines, its online platform offers something that can be invaluable to some readers: privacy.”
“To protect patrons from having to deal with scrutiny as they browse the stacks or check out books, the Queer Liberation Library aims to bring the library to patrons themselves.”
