Just wanted to publicise this library for folks. Membership is free and they run on donations to get queer literature out there on the world, especially where it would otherwise be inaccessible or unsafe for people. It is part of the Libby network.

Idk if it’s just a product of their catalogue being small because they have just started up but unfortunately they didn’t pass the Leslie Feinberg or Ursula Le Guin vibe check but it’s still promising despite that fact.

Of course there’s almost everything at your fingertips thanks to LibGen and similar sites but it’s worth remembering that non-black market queer libraries directly support queer authors and promote queer culture, and not everyone is fluent or comfortable with pirating ebooks so this library meets a need that doesn’t really get met elsewhere.
