Description
October Lavender Library: Vote Now!
Problem: There weren't enough local queer-centered book clubs. Solution: We started one.
This October, Lavender Library is going fan-voted for our chosen book! Many options are horror themed. Vote now in Discord!
We'll update here soon once our winner is chosen.
As always, Lavender Library isn't about having the "right" interpretation or remembering every plot detail. You don't have to finish the book - or even love it - to join the conversation. This is a gentle, neurodivergent-friendly discussion space built around curiosity, thoughtful conversation, and connecting through stories that stay with us.
What to expect:
- A cozy, neurodivergent-friendly discussion space
- Gentle structure with opt-in conversation
- Thoughtful discussion about love, community, relationships, and belonging
- Space for vulnerability, humor, differing perspectives, and personal reflection
- A welcoming environment where every voice is valued
The Deets: Lavender Library is a welcoming community discussion space centered around queer readers, thoughtful conversation, and stories that challenge, comfort, and inspire us. Whether you're a lifelong horror fan or simply curious about one that celebrates queer perspectives, we'd love to have you join us.
⏰ Time: Doors open at 7pm, conversation from 7:30pm to 9pm
🗓️ Date: October 15th, 2026
📍 Location: Wicked Eden, 2912 S High St, Columbus, OH 43207
🎟️ Tickets: Free for Members, $5 for Non-Members
DRESS CODE
When it comes to attire, we want to encourage comfort and expression at Wicked Eden. We want you to feel comfortable and in the mood to have an adventure! We want you to feel safe expressing yourself in whatever you desire. We encourage you to go outside your comfort zone with festive, outrageous, or fantastic clothing you never get to wear anywhere else.
VOLUNTEERS
We LOVE volunteers! Join our team of community volunteers, and you will find new friends, a support system, and a tight-knit center of empowerment.
By volunteering with us, you can make a meaningful impact on people's lives. Still, you will also get perks such as discounted or free access to our events and classes and, most importantly, collaborative input into what we do here. Your ideas are important to us, and as a volunteer, we want you to feel like you're part of our community: one that celebrates who you are and supports your journey.
INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY
We're committed to inclusivity. Our community is a tapestry of individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and social backgrounds, including all gender identities and expressions. We encourage everyone to engage with empathy and curiosity, always asking rather than assuming someone's identity or preferences. Our space is and always will be wheelchair accessible, with multiple spaces for varying sensory needs.
