We're Going To Pride!!!!

 Hey friends! We wanted to share some exciting news with you! This Saturday, June 10th, we are going to have a table at Toms River Pride!

At our table, we’ll be sharing information about the work that we do- the actual book mailing service as well as lectures and the many blog posts that we hope to continue to share with you. We will also be selling merch with our logo on it (continued thanks to the amazing CharCubed for our logo) as well as knitted Pride gear and Pride plushie friends.

We are also going to be accepting book donations for the library at this event! Check your bookshelf for any LGBTQ+ themed books (any age/ reading level, fiction or nonfiction) and let us help you with your spring cleaning. Any books that you donate will be added to our online catalogue for people around the country to borrow.

Toms River Pride is this Saturday, June 10th, from 11am to 5pm. For more information about the event, click Here!

But underneath the walls that don’t line up and the rooms that move is a story about conformity- or lack thereof. This book is a character study more than a ghost story, an analysis of a young woman who was never given the chance to be who she truly is. This 45 minute presentation is an exploration of the metaphors contained within the
