About The Nonbinarian bookstore
The Nonbinarian Bookstore is an exclusively queer bookstore and community space. It is an extension of the Nonbinarian Book Bike, which was formed to provide access to and promote representation of queer stories for all ages, directly bringing LGBTQIA2S+ books to the folks that need them most.
The Nonbinarian collective strives to empower and affirm queer and trans people of all ages by offering accessible services, such as free resources, workshops, and events, as well as continuing the foundational work of the Book Bike's mobile book distribution.
