Frequently Asked Questions:

Interested in Donating Books?

In order to maintain our collection, we are always taking donations! Email julie@pdxqcenter.org if you have LGBTQ2SIA+ books or graphic novels you would like to donate.

Donation shipping or drop-off instructions here!

We are prioritizing contemporary, children’s, and Young Adult LGBTQ+ books. We are no longer accepting books written before 2018, as we have an abundance of outdated books.

Do we have book recommendations?

Check out some of our recommendations! Purchases made through Another Read Through will benefit Q Center and small, queer, indie shops, all at the same time!
