Dia de los Muertos: Memorial Ofrendas
During October, Rochester Rainbow Union will have craft supplies available during open library hours to make ofrendas; folks are also welcome to make their own at home and bring it in. In November, the ofrendas will be displayed in public LGBTQ+ spaces to honor and celebrate those we have lost.
We are proud to be partnering with: WAVE Women Inc, Genesee Valley Gender Variants, Free Art Collective, and Equal Grounds Community Cafe!

We maintain a small selection of gently used clothes that are available for any community members in need.
At this time, we are accepting donations of washed and clean items. For socks and undergarments, we accept new or unworn items.
Come and visit during our open Library hours or reach out to us and make an appointment.

Our volunteers are sharing some of their favorite picks from our Library’s collection! Stay tuned for weekly recommendations posted on our social media.
Content Warnings:
Our volunteers have created a document with a list of content or trigger warnings that could be found in our book picks. Each title has been considered carefully. The document will be updated periodically to encompass more warnings as more titles are posted on our social media. We hope that providing a guide, we can make the experience of navigating and looking out for different triggers as gentle as possible.

Movie of the Month
Coming Soon!
The Rochester Rainbow Union is inviting local queer artists to do a pop-up at the Lilac Library. These pop-ups are an opportunity to sell, show, and celebrate queer works during our library open hours. Currently, we are hosting pop-ups on Sundays from 2-4pm, with set-up time available beforehand. Any interested artists are welcome to fill out the Google form linked below. After the form is submitted, one of our volunteers will reach out to you for further details.
For additional information and questions, please email: info@gayalliance.org.
