History
FM Queer Readers was founded in July 2025 by a small group of LGBTQ+ book lovers in the Fargo-Moorhead area who wanted a safe, inclusive space to share stories and connect. What began as casual conversations about queer literature quickly grew into a structured book club with monthly themes such as:
January: New Year, New Me
May: Queer Voices
July: Queer Americana
August: Hot Mess Summer
We also introduced craft nights alongside book discussions to foster creativity and community. From the start, we partnered with local libraries to ensure our selections are accessible and available to all members. Today, we keep members connected through a Discord server and email updates, making it easy to stay involved.

Who we are
Who we are
Oliver founded the club back in 2025 due to a lack of spaces for queer individuals to just socialize and discuss literature. What started out as a 2-person event has now become an 8+ every session!
No experience type is required to show up, just be yourself and have fun!
