Support Us

Get Involved

The best way to support us is to get involved!

Come visit us during open hours, borrow a book from our collection, and attend one of our events.

Patreon

Stay up to date and support the library with a recurring monthly donation through Patreon.

Monetary Donations

The Ottawa Trans Library accepts donations via eTransfer at donate@ottawatranslibrary.ca

Note: for donations of $1000 or more, there is a possibility of donating through a charitable partner. Please email board@ottawatranslibrary.ca for more information.

You can also make a donation through PayPal.

Books and other works

The library is happy to accept donations of books by trans authors, as well as historical, important and interesting works on trans issues and people. We are particularly interested in anything documenting trans history in Ottawa. Please check the library catalogue to see whether we already hold the title.

Consider purchasing a title from our book registry with local bookstore The Spaniel’s Tale.

Space limitations prohibit us from cataloguing duplicate copies, unless they are in great demand.

If you are unsure whether the title you have is appropriate for our collection, please email info@ottawatranslibrary.ca to confirm before donating the item.

Volunteer

The Ottawa Trans Library is run by volunteers! If you’d like to help make things work, whether you’re a book nerd, events organizer, web genius, or just want to help with odds and ends, please consider volunteering with us and becoming a member. Email info@ottawatranslibrary.ca or stop by during our open hours to say hi!
