For over 25 years, the Lavender Library has been a beacon of learning, connection, and community for Sacramento’s LGBTQ+ community. Our all-volunteer-run space offers not just books, films, and archives but a safe and inclusive environment where people can come together, be themselves, and engage with one another.

Your support is more vital than ever. This Giving Tuesday, we aim to raise $7,500 to help sustain and expand our current programs and ensure the ongoing growth of our collection.

With your help, we can provide more of the events, support groups, and unique resources.
