As always, we encourage you to follow the leadership of local organizations and participate in local actions in your community if you have the privilege to do so safely. In Massachusetts, we want to shout out the incredible work of LUCE“There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the movement; the time is always now.”

Hi, a small note from your local LGBTQIA+ library 💜
It’s Fuck ICE today, just like it was Fuck ICE yesterday, and just like it will be Fuck ICE tomorrow. No one is illegal on stolen land.
Like you, we’re devastated and furious. The QT Library stands with Minneapolis, Maine, and everywhere else being traumatized by ICEWe also stand with our partners locally and around the country in the fight against fascist, racist state violence – a violence that we are watching being wielded like a weapon against so many communities, including immigrant and Native American communities, in real time.

Still remembering Shelf-ebration 💭 You all came out to #Boston's More Than Words in December to celebrate queer love and community. There were crafts, a QT Library toast, great speeches, and, of course, a lot of books. Stay tuned in 2026 for even more QT events! 📸 Adriana Arguijo Photography

The other polaroid shows two people standing in front of that same bookshelf with their arms around each other smiling.Two polaroids.

2026 isn't off to a great start, but we at the QT Library are trendsetters and think all of these things should be in for this year. It involves way more books, queer joy, and letting us be who we are without fear. 💭 What are you aspiring to be in 2026?
"What's in for 2026" on graph paper. There's also a polaroid of a Pride flag in a flower pot and a Q.T. Library stamp that says "approved" under it.What's in for 2026: Pride Month all year long except for July, which is Wrath Month. Buying thousands of dollars worth of books. Adding more books by authors from marginalized communities to the T.B.R. shelf. Stitch and bitch sessions. There's also a polaroid of people at a table crafting.
What's in for 2026: Opening a pop-up. Existing in three dimensions. Having attainable goals that set you up for success. Reading more good books, not bad books. Reading books where queer characters have a nice time, you know? There's also a polaroid of two people around a Q.T. Library table chatting with somebody off screen.What's in for 2026: Not being afraid to D.N.F books. Being inscrutable. Queer and trans people being able to live happily and openly WITHOUT FEAR, but written in very large letters. Staying hydrated. There's also a polaroid of four people standing in front of a bookshelf smiling, with two people on the ground.

That's it! 2025 is over. 🥳 While it was a rough one for our community (to say the least), it was a busy one for the QT Library, and we can't help but have a little hope for our future and that of the LGBTQIA+ community. Relive the highlights with us, and a toast to so much more in 2026!
Text on graph paper that says, "We moved into a brand new storage space" and "we started 2025 with 1,800+ books and we're ending it with 3,200+ books."

If you don't already know her, Eve is a huge reason that the #QTLibrary functions. Besides her incredible work ethic, Eve has been a reliable team member who enjoys being "really gay" and "wanted to do work that was real and gay," which we can really relate to.

A story and update from the QT LIbrary 🌧️🌈
Boston Pride 2023 was a rainstorm. It was one of the QT Library’s first major public-facing events. Our Executive Director, Emily Ann Talley, demonstrated to everyone just what the QT Library stands for: how even in the stormiest of times, we will bring the vibrance and the light.

As the QT Library’s Founding Executive Director, co-founder, and Clerk to the Board, Emily’s leadership shaped the organization immensely. That’s why we want to share with our community that Emily has stepped down as the QT Library’s Executive Director and will be moving on to new adventures.The contributions Emily has made cannot be overstated or have enough confetti thrown upon them. They shepherded our organization from a sparkle in the eyes of four people with a dream to legal incorporation, to 501(c)(3) status, and now to a thriving part of Boston’s queer and trans ecosystem. We quite literally wouldn’t be where we are today without their contributions, leadership, and upbeat, inspiring energy.

Our community is strong, and we will navigate this transition by leaning on each other, continuing to do the work Emily helped start, and by remembering to do as Emily taught us: always dance through the rain.Bonus: Emily's dog Lady. There are two pics of this black and white dog in Polaroid frames.

From now until Dec. 15, we'll be looking to honor all that we've done and all we have left to do. We've brought in 60+ volunteers, 3,000+ books, and held countless events. But we need your help to truly blossom. 💐

🌱 A small seed is capable of turning into a beautiful garden. Likewise, from the simple idea of liberation and hope, QT Library has sprung up. Introducing From Seed to Shelf: the QT Library's annual campaign! Donate, volunteer, RSVP... help us grow today: loom.ly/MRSIouU

Text under that says, "our annual campaign to deepen our roots, grow our team, and raise $100,000. For, by, and with you." At the bottom is a brown bookshelf with blank books and some colorful potted flowers.
