2SLGBTQ+ Children’s Book Drive

Logo for Venus Envy, an education-oriented bookstore.

2SLGBTQ+ communities now have more children’s books that are inclusive and wonderful than ever before, and we’ve teamed up with Venus Envy to create a travelling shared library that will be used by us and our community partners at community events and our camp programs! You may donate a book at the Venus Envy store online or in person.
