Everyone loves a good story – and there are stories for you in the LGBTQ+ Center’s Lending Library.
Started in 2022 by a grant from the IU Queer Philanthropy Circle featuring books purchased from Beyond Barcodes, a minority-owned independent bookstore in Indianapolis, the lending library supplements the holdings of the IU Kokomo library with titles focused on the voices and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community.
About 70 titles are housed in the MCC Lounge, resting on a rainbow-painted bookshelf designed by the IU Kokomo Equity Ambassadors. Books are available to check out by request from the Multicultural Center during normal business hours.
