Audre Lorde
Memorial Library

The Audre Lorde Memorial Library is in honor of Audre Lorde (1934–1992) — Black lesbian poet, feminist, and activist. Lorde’s fearless advocacy for social justice, her celebration of difference, and her insistence on living authentically continue to inspire our work at the Pride Center. This library reflects her belief that knowledge, community, and self-expression are powerful tools for liberation.

Our collection includes over 1,500 books available to check out — what you see here is just a partial view. We have literature ranging from youth and YA fiction, parenting guides for LGBTQ+ families, medical manuals (including transitioning procedures), and so much more. Stop by whenever you can!
