Let's Build Red’s Queer Little Library: A Community Effort!

One of our amazing regulars, Abby, has been hosting an LGBTQ+ book club at Red’s for the past couple years. A few months ago, she came to us with an idea: what if we built a queer little library right here at Red’s? And now... it’s happening! What started as one idea is now a volunteer-led, collective effort powered by a whole crew of folks who believe in the vision.

To raise funds, we’re hosting a fundraiser on Thursday, June 26th at Red's Beer Garden. We're kicking things off with a Queer Book Swap at 6:30 pm - bring a book, take a book! Then at 7:30 pm, it’s time for bingo, hosted by our friends Adam and Kieran from Trans Joy. Bingo card donations will go directly toward building the Red’s Reading Rainbow: a queer little library for the community. Our goal is to raise $500 to purchase, build and install it, and anything extra will be donated to Trans Joy, a local nonprofit offering accessible grants for gender-affirming care and comprehensive support, including medical, mental health, and essential resources.

We'll be using this GoFundMe during the event to collect bingo card donations, but if you cannot attend, please consider donating beforehand. The money raised will be collected by Red's Beer Garden, but will be distributed to the Queer Little Library and Trans Joy after the event on June 26th.
