Queer Readers welcomes 2026!

Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday 20th July  2026 at 6.30pm in the New Farm Library meeting room. 

The theme for July is... "First Nations Celebrations" which is in recognition of NAIDOC Week's 50 years of Deadly this month. Each of the selections are written by proud First Nations' authors featuring Queer First Nations protagonists or representation. (Cultural sensitivity advisory notice: Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and other First Nations people are advised that some items may contain names, recordings, images, photographs, illustrations and text of deceased people and other content that may be culturally sensitive.)

 There are multiple copies and different media styles (ebook/ audiobook) for the recommended books from the reading list in the BCC Library service:

‘Heat And Light’ by Ellen Van Neerven, 2014. 232 pages, 10 copies, ebooks, audiobooks.
