  • It’s Coming Together

    Our little library is coming together. Ash has been moving furniture and cataloguing books. We’ve been planning paint jobs and securing seating. Everything is on track for Feb 26th.

    We have 60 titles available at the moment. It’s a wee collection, but every journey starts with small steps. We are open to donations! Let us know if you’re having a clear out.

    Our library office, situated behind the reading area. Some tidying still needed 😄

  • Work In Progress

    Something wonderful is coming to Fortuneswell—a tiny but mighty LGBTQIA+ library! Nestled in the basement of B-Side, this discreet library will offer a curated selection of LGBTQIA+ books for all ages. While the collection may start small, our ambition is sky-high.

    Mark your calendars for the grand opening on the evening of February 26th! We’re kicking things off with a creative twist: attendees are invited to help paint a mural in the reading space. Plus, we’ll be serving up cold drinks and hot food to keep the good vibes flowing.

    We’re excited to grow this community hub, but we need your help. We’re accepting book donations to expand our collection. If you have any books you’d like to lend or donate, please let us know or simply bring them along.

    Join us in making this library a cozy haven for everyone! 📚🎨🥳
