This is a Council led event.

30/04/2026 - Clive James Library and Service Centre.

Join us on the last Thursday of each month at Clive James Library, Kogarah for the Pride Book Club, where we read and discuss books that explore LGBTQIA+ experiences, voices, and themes. This club is a space for celebrating queer stories in all their variety, from fiction to memoir, graphic novels to poetry. It’s also a space to connect with others in an open, respectful, and inclusive environment.

Whether you’re a lifelong reader or just starting out, everyone is welcome. Each month we’ll highlight a different theme or focus, encouraging conversations around identity, representation, and the power of storytelling.

Come along to share your thoughts, discover new favourites, and celebrate the diverse world of queer literature.

April's Theme:
Celebrate the power of short-form storytelling by exploring queer short stories, essays, memoirs, and more.

Suggested reads from the Georges River Libraries Pride Collection include:

• Her Body and Other Parties – Carmen Maria Machado.

• Rainbow Rainbow – Lydia Conklin.

• How to Write an Autobiographical Novel – Alexander Chee.

• Kink – Edited by Garth Greenwell & R. O. Kwon.
