Picture of the LGBT rainbow flagWelcome to the Medway libraries LGBTQ page. The library stocks a variety of resources including books, DVDs electronic and e-audio books, some of which are listed below.

Finding what you want

The LGBTQ-themed authors and titles can all be found in Medway Libraries. If a particular title is not available at your local library it can be reserved by visiting a library or through the online catalogue. Medway Libraries are part of a consortium of libraries in the south-east, so if you cannot find what you want in Medway it can be reserved from one of the other library authorities.

These lists are not comprehensive so please search the catalogue to find out what other titles we have in stock. If you would like to recommend titles or authors to us, please fill in a comments card or send an email. We can’t promise to buy all suggested titles but will give them consideration.
