Trans Day of Snacks
March 29 @ 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm
We are excited to announce that the trans library is celebrating Trans Day of Visibility with our second annual Trans Day of Snacks! With heightened visibility and trans lives being threatened globally, being in community with other trans people can be life-altering/saving. We’re proud of you for persevering, for persisting in being yourself, for making it this far, and for choosing yourself over and over again ♥️
To celebrate our wonderful community, the library will be holding an open house celebration on Sunday, March 29th, from 12 to 5 PM- with snacks available- While you snack, check out our amazing collection of books for loan, play board games, and socialize with the community! We’ll set up in the park across the street if weather permits ☀️
It is also our monthly Nonbinary Crafternoon, we’ll reserve a dedicated area for crafting. To our crafternoon regulars: feel free to come grab a treat and craft as usual <3
Snacks are first-come, first-serve prioritizing the trans community – Please check our stories for updates on snack availability!
