KNOWhomo’s Library
(as requested by anon)
Hi Everyone,
The KNOWhomo team has received a few emails asking what we’re reading/researching/collecting for our Queer* Library. I decided to share photos of my reference and reading group selections bookcase. I’m inviting the other KNOWhomo mods to login and do the same….(hint, hint)
Most of the books shown above have been purchased second hand over the course of a few years. I highly recommend searching at used bookstore shelves, library sales, and your local used book stores to help increase your own libraries.
I lived in the rural deep South for high school and college. My first queer* books were purchased at a church donation sale, all published by Alyson Books. Its possible to find representation of yourself if you KNOW where to look. I recommend becoming familiar with titles, publishers (the spine can help you save so much time), authors, and key words.
Keep On Reading On!
-Rebecca
