Sacramento’s
LGBTQ+ Library
& Community Hub
The Lavender Library is a volunteer-run LGBTQ+ library, archive, and community space in Sacramento with queer books, films, archives, zines, and more.
We host book clubs, support groups, open mic nights, craft markets, and other community events year-round.
We are 100% community supported and operated
We rely on community members like you to help us keep the lights on, make rent, purchase new books, digitalize our archive, and pay for operating expenses like this website.
Please consider becoming a donor to keep this vital LGBTQ+ space open in our community now and for years to come.
