Quatrefoil Library

Patrons, Volunteers, & Friends of the Library, 

Quatrefoil Library is a unique gathering space. Here our queer community find each other and build relationships with their past and connections to other queer groups and causes. For nearly forty years we have served as the longest consecutively operating free LGBTQIA+ lending-library in the nation. We have witnessed and celebrated many political and social victories and endured times of loss and uncertainty.  

The Quatrefoil community has always stood as a refuge for the freedom of expression by championing the access of LGBTQIA+ literature, materials, and media, all carefully curated and upheld by professional librarians through the support and engagement of donors like you. Free memberships and the e-book and audiobook collections have resulted in a tripling of membership over the past three years. We now serve over 3,000 patrons who use the space for community connection, intellectual stimulation, event and group meetings, socializing, and reflection. 

This community resource is only possible because of supporters like you. Witnessing attacks upon our community can feel overwhelming and paralyzing. One of the best ways to use your agency and fight back is to donate to Quatrefoil so that the stories of our lives are told and shared.
