About My Library: This is primarily a Dyke and Lesbian poetry and non-fiction collection that I have been accumulating for the more than 30 years I've been out. This is a lending library. When the whole collection is catalogued, I suspect there will be approximately 2,000 items. Most of these books I have purchased myself, but over the last 10 years, the library has received many books from the Dyke/Lesbian community of Victoria, B.C. These books have come through direct donations, retirement, relocation and the death of many in our community. Consequently, the libary now contains a huge footprint of the history/membership of this community and hence I want it to stay here for as long as the books last. My goal is to catalogue and send the list to as many local users (individuals and organizations)as I can. I'd like these books to be read. Also, I am a poet with what I call my "writer's library" which includes some non-Dyke and straight poetry and reference books. I'm interested in other Dyke or Lesbian collectors and collections and would consider swapping duplicates. This is a library collected through passion. I have very little money to purchase books, so donations are loved and I will credit you in the front cover. I am also hoping to find someone to help with the cataloguing.
