Come check out our lending library of inclusive books!
🌈Stop by the farmhouse
📚Pick out a book
📝Write the date on the checkout slip
📖Take it home to read and enjoy for as long as you like
📚Return to the book bin when you’re finished

A report released by the nonprofit PEN America found that in 2023-24 over half of the 4,000+ titles challenged in US schools and libraries featured LGBTQ+ and/or BIPOC stories. According to the American Library Association, this number increased by a whopping 65% from the previous year.

Representation matters, and nobody deserves to feel invisible. That’s why CBR has spent the past few years collecting and curating a private lending library of books full of q***r, trans, and minority experiences. With the help of local libraries and businesses, as well as community donations, we’ve been able to grow our offerings to include a rainbow of LGBTQ+ and BIPOC genres and voices. Anybody is welcome to stop on by to borrow or contribute a book of their own!

Join us in ensuring that marginalized folks are able to see themselves and their experiences reflected in literature.
