The QT Library

It's been a while but we have some BRAND NEW book recs for you. And perfect timing, because it's Trans Day of Visibility, a reminder that trans people are visible and beautiful all year round 🏳️‍⚧️

Spring hasn't sprung *quite* yet in Boston, which means there's more time to spend inside. You can either 1) read books or 2) talk about books.

Regardless of what you choose, we have a bunch of amazing VIRTUAL programs happening this month. RSVP at the Eventbrite 🔗 in the comments!

🧛‍♀️ What happens when a mysterious stranger invites desire and darkness into a woman’s life? Find out during our March Q***r Horror Book Club, where we will be sinking our teeth into “Hungerstone" by Kat Dunn.

This book club is free to attend and is open for adults 18 and up. Head to the link in the comments to RSVP!

Are you prepared to get roped into a wacky, campy, murder mysterious? Join us for an evening all about Justine Pucella Winans’ book, “Bianca Torre is Afraid of Everything.” All a part of our Trans YA Book Club.

📅 Feb. 23
🕖 7-8 PM ET
💻 On Zoom

This book is free to attend and open for ages 16 and up. Check out more information on the event and how to RSVP through the link in the comments!

Are you into q***r history? We bet you are. But do you know what goes into preserving that history when the people in power are trying to erase us?

That's why we're SO honored to be hosting an enlightening and FREE talk with Lark Aster from the Ace Archive project! RSVP at the link in the comments 👇

✏️ "Archivist Rebellion: Defending Q***r History"
📅 March 4, 2026
🕖 7-8 PM ET

You know it, we know it: Our rights are under attack. But we at the QT Library believe that getting out there in the community is a great start on the path towards change. Standing together, we can do anything.

Come together with us and many other incredible organizations for the March for Trans Futures on Feb 7 at 1 PM at the Boston Common Bandstand!

A true honor to be spotlighted by Bookriot in this very comprehensive breakdown of how to keep reading and protecting the right to read through the Horrors. We're only screaming a little. 😱💜

But seriously, there are a lot of great ideas in here. We lose so much with book censorship, and it's up to all of us to counter that in our communities! You can read the full link in the comments 👇

Still remembering Shelf-ebration 💭

So many of you came out to More Than Words in December to celebrate q***r love and community. There were crafts, great food, a QT Library toast, great speeches, and, of course, a lot of books.

Stay tuned in 2026 for even more QT events and community! We'll see you there.

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, q***r joy, and letting us be who we are without fear. Also staying hydrated because that's important every year.

💭 What are you aspiring to be in 2026?
