Read (gay) books this Pride month and support the Pride Community Center while doing it !! 🌈📚

Today, we sat down with Jan, one of the PCC's incredible volunteers, to learn about the PCC's community library of over 1,000 titles. All Pride month long, The Lynx is hosting a book drive to help expand their library even more!

All you have to do is buy books from your favorite q***r, trans, gay, sapphic, + authors from our LGBTQ+ section or our Pride month table displays. A portion of every LGBTQ+ title purchased in June will go directly to new books for the PCC library.

Want to donate directly to the book drive? Check our bio for the book drive link, and don't forget to visit pccncf.org to get updates on the Pride Community Center's exciting new space!
