The Carabiner Collections Library was founded a year ago in 2023 when three friends went on a crosscountry roadtrip starting in Bryan, Texas all the way to Sacramento, California! These three found inspiration at the Lavender Library (@sacllace), where they offered an array of LGBTQIA+ books and events! “That’s kinda cool!” And so it was decided: Thus birthed Carabiner Collections. An LGBTQIA+ library in Texas, by queer people for queer people (and allies). #CommunityFirst #bannedbooks #lgbtqiabooks #lgbtiabooks #carabinercollections #bookstagram #library #bryantexas #bryantxfarmersmarket #collegestation
