Bisexual Book Library Donations Campaign
Announcing the Bi Writers Association
Bisexual Book Library Donations Campaign
The LGBT Community Center Library in New York City is one of the most influential and well used LGBT libraries. But their Bisexuality bookshelf was pitifully understocked with only a few (3 or 4) recent titles and a handful of dated titles. The Bi Writers Association is working with volunteer librarian Naomi McClernan to expand their collection. We have already collected and donated 20 of the best recently published bisexual books including donations from some of the authors who read at Bi Lines: Honor Moore, Ann Herendeen and Bobbie Geary. In addition, bi-themed novels and biographies already in the library have now been moved to the Bisexuality shelf, so every kind of bisexual book can easily be found there. (Additional copies will be shelved on bio and fiction shelves as well, so they can be found in either location.) So far, we have increased the number of books on the Bisexuality bookshelf by 200%. But there are still many important bi books missing and we need your help to round out their collection.
Donate Bisexual Books
If you have any bisexual books laying around your house you can donate (used or new), or would like to purchase bi books for the library, please contact the Bi Writers Association. We have a list of the bi books the library already has, can tell you what they still need and assist you in making the donation.
The Pat Parker/Vito Russo Center Library
Founded in 1991 to encourage and facilitate the reading and research of LGBT literature, the Pat Parker/Vito Russo Center library is an important community resource. More than 450 people visit each month to browse and borrow books and videos.

There are more than 20,000 circulating titles of fiction and nonfiction, both current and classic, making it New York's largest lending library of LGBT material. The video collection, named in honor of film professor Michael Janiak who died of AIDS in 1992, includes more than 1,500 circulating videos and DVDs by, about, or of interest to our community. Additionally, the library maintains subscriptions to more than 20 LGBT periodicals from throughout the United States. More info here: http://www.gaycenter.org/community/libra
