QTPOC Lending Library!



The Institute for LGBT Studies is excited to share our newest project: the QTPOC Lending Library! This library celebrates QTPOC authors and LGBTQ+ books for all ages. With the help of Mary Feeney and team at the UA Library, we have compiled a list of books in our Lending Library that are available electronically through the UA Library website. Each title is hyperlinked and will take you directly to the e-book or to the UA Library webpage for the e-book. You may need to log into your UA Library "My Accounts" for access.

We hope this can be another resource for the community as we are staying safe and caring for ourselves and each other. For any questions regarding the Lending Library or e-books please contact Luna Chung lunachung@email.arizona.edu.

Follow an updated list of community food resources by This Is Tucson!

Food brings people together ... And when the going gets tough, Tucson organizations and businesses are getting creative to make sure that everyone in our community has access to food.

This list is an evolving resource guide, where you can find free food assistance, learn about restaurants offering discounted meals, purchase food without contact and find special accommodations for senior citizens at grocery stores. If you're wondering how you can help serve those in need we're also gathering that info, too.

If you have something to add to one of these categories please send us a note, so we can include your information.
