Lending Library
GLOW maintains a collection of several hundred books, magazines, and newspapers in our resource library. In addition, GLOW has a number of video and music resources.
Borrowing Resources
Library resources may be borrowed by the general public for a three-week period. The library resources that may be taken out are books and DVDs, unless there is a note on the book indicating it cannot be taken out. Simply visit the GLOW Centre and an office volunteer will be happy to help you sign the resource out. It is necessary to leave your name and some contact information to ensure that resources are returned.
Non-Borrowable Resources
Resources in the library that are not allowed to be taken out include: magazines and reference books. You may use these resources within the GLOW Centre.
Other Resources
If you are looking for a specific title which we don’t have, GLOW Centre and phone line volunteers can usually help you track down the resource. The UW libraries, the city libraries (Waterloo and Kitchener), the UW Bookstore, and many other local bookstores all carry small collections of queer titles.
Donating to the Library
GLOW accepts donations of books, magazines, videos, music, and other resources from the general public. If you are interested in donating, please contact us at education {at} glow.feds(.)ca.
