You’re invited to join our book club!
Welcome to the Trans Reading Room & Book Club! This is the very beginning of a literary project that you are warmly invited to help build with us. We’re here to facilitate a community-shaped project that spans generations of Trans people and genres of beloved childhood books.
“Connecting Trans readers to their Youth…”
Was there a book that you encountered in your childhood that changed your life? Something that brought you comfort? Fed your creativity? Taught you valuable lessons or broadened your understanding of the world around you? Trans Reading Room & Book Club is the place for Trans adults to re-read the classics, the favorites, and more, gather with the community to discuss themes, theory, and simply reminisce.
…Because imagination builds better worlds.”
The project doesn’t stop there! In addition to returning to the beloved books of our childhoods, our mission is to create free and comprehensive material for youth-centered spaces, focusing on Trans youth as the intended audience. Reading lists, fun and informative zines, literary-inspired artwork, and personal stories from the adult Trans readers themselves will be compiled and distributed to our young communities to ensure that a love of reading and a interconnectedness between generations of Trans people are established.
It takes a village!
We’re looking for Trans and nonbinary people who love to read and care about our youths’ wellbeing to join our planning committee and get this project off the ground. Librarians, storytellers, teachers, artists, activists, illustrators, authors, poets, programmers, grant writers, designers, and most of all, readers are all encouraged to participate at any and all stages.
