Lambeth Libraries Workshop
2/2/21, 7-8pm


A talk and interactive workshop discussing how Book 28 Library came about and how the pandemic has affected our work. We will lead discussions with event attendees about their own routes into LGBTQ+ literature and the books we enjoy. There will be plenty of time for discussion and book recommendations.

Throwback Storytime
10/2/21, 7-9pm


Drop in to hear readings from queer stories, poems and zines.  No need to interact, just switch off your camera and listen - or, if you feel like it, bring something to read yourself! Only rule: everything we read is from the year 2000 or earlier.

Fantasy + Sci-Fi, LGBTIQ + Disability
13/2/21, 2-3pm


We will start this workshop by interviewing Lloyd, a member of Rainbows Friends. Rainbow Friends is a "social group for people who identify as/with LGBTQ and a learning disability". We will talk with Lloyd about his love of reading sci-fi and fantasy books, and how he never got to see any LGBTIQ+ or disabled characters. In the second part of the workshop, we will think up our own LGBTIQ+ and disabled sci-fi/fantasy characters and share them with the group through descriptions, writing or drawing.
