Celebrate Pride (virtually)
Our 2023 Virtual Pride calendar is a resource for sick, disabled, and COVID-conscious queer people to celebrate Pride from the safety and accessibility of their homes.
The Bi Pan Library is an independent archive of bi, pan, and m-spec media.
Browse books
Every book on the Bi Pan Library’s physical shelves has its own page on our website so you can get all the details about what it’s about, who wrote it, and why it’s included in the collection.
Discover queer history
The Bi Pan Library archive holds many vintage and rare books you won’t find elsewhere online, so you can explore accounts of bi, pan, and m-spec experience as far back as the 1930s.
