About Books Gone Wilde

Monthly community library in Darwin for LGBTQI community

In a climate where mould will get to books sooner than readers, and where there is no dedicated LGBTI bookstore, Books Gone Wilde is a way for book owners to be book lenders, with the overall aim of enhancing the Darwin LGBTI community.

The title of Books Gone Wilde has recently change from swap to library. This is to better communicate how Books Gone Wilde operates, which is a temporary loan in to Books Gone Wilde by books owners, and a temporary loan to borrowers from Books Gone Wilde. Still no late fees :)

Books (over 300+): http://booksgonewilde.wordpress.com/books/

How it works
Step 1: look at your bookshelf. If you see lots of great LGBTI books that you think others in Darwin would benefit from reading, consider lending them to Books Gone Wilde for a few months. If you look at your bookshelf and see not a lot, consider borrowing from Books Gone Wilde.

Step 2: visit the stall at the Nightcliff markets on the first Sunday of any month between 9-1pm, sign up for a membership of $2, lend or borrow books.

Although this is called a library it is not affiliated with formal libraries in Darwin/NT.
