- Reading and writing
- LGBTQ+
A talk and interactive workshop from the Book28 Library on LGBTQ+ literature and libraries. Book28 is a small LGBTQ+ library held at the Outside Project (a LGBTQ+ homeless shelter in Clerkenwell). It’s named in part after the Section 28 punitive law of the 1980s and aims to look at the way it has had lasting impact on library services for LGBTQ+ people today.
A key part of the project is encouraging good LGBTQ+ collections in libraries everywhere.
The group will talk about how the project came about, how the pandemic has affected their work and will lead discussions with event attendees about their own routes into LGBTQ+ literature and the books we enjoy.
There will be plenty of time for discussion and book recommendations.
