MattDesk Set Sponsored Events, Events from Other Orgs, From Our Guest Bloggers Dance Party, Que(e)ry
Que(e)ry III is coming up this Friday, March 18, at Blackout Bar in Greenpoint. We’re back with more exciting raffle prizes, great DJs, fancy queer-lit themed drinks, and nerdy gogo dancers. This time we’re raising money for the Library and Archive of the Transgender Foundation of America, and we thought you’d like to know a little more about it.
The TFA is a non-profit community-run organization founded in 2001. The TFA seeks to improve the quality of life for transgender people, through local and nationwide education, advocacy, and outreach efforts. Since 2008, the TFA has operated the Transgender Center in Houston, which provides community groups, social services, legal counseling, gender transition counseling, HIV testing and counseling, homeless assistance, and mental health services to the Houston trans community. The Center also facilitates social groups, studies, community action events, and serves as a watchdog against discrimination.
In addition, the Center houses the Archive of Transgender History and Transgender Research Library. The Archive, the only one of its kind in the world, collects a range of materials such as personal papers, ephemera, newspapers, magazines, rare books, photos, artifacts, and statuaryrelating to transgender people, including: trans activism and community life; medical, psychological, and legal developments; and depictions of trans people in film, art, literature, mythology, and popular culture. Items of interest in the collection are memorabilia related to Christine Jorgensen, the first widely known person to have undergone sex reassignment surgery and hormone therapy in 1952. 
Items range from diverse cultures and include books from as early as the 1600s, photos from the Civil War era, and artifacts dating as far back as the Roman Empire. The research library includes biographies, studies, journals and periodicals, both current and historical. Together, the archive and library seek to give a sense of history to the transgender community, and to counteract the misinformation and discrimination transgender people face on a daily basis. Both the library and archive are open to the public daily. You can learn more about their resources at their website.
Or check out their blog for updates on new acquisitions to the archive, and find them on Facebook and Twitter.
Your support, awareness, and time are greatly appreciated by the TFA and by all of us at Que(e)ry and the Desk Set. We look forward to seeing you on Friday! RSVP on Facebook
Can’t make it? You can still Make a Donation to the Trans Archive and Research Library.

More than Just Green Beer
The Irish and Irish American contribution to our culture is particularly felt in the literary world. As it turns out, there are better ways to celebrate St. Patrick’s expulsion of the snakes than dressing up in green and getting your drink on at an Upper East Side douchebagary. Reading books, for example. Or better yet: passing out free (!!) books to passersby.
The Irish Arts Center celebrates Irish Book Day 2011 by distributing literature by Irish and Irish-American writers, and they need your help. Here’s what they tell us:
Irish Arts Center is in need of a few good volunteers for our first annual Book Day event on March 17th. We’ll be sending teams of volunteers to each of the five boroughs to greet the public and distribute 10,000 free books by Irish and Irish American authors. That’s a lot of books so we’re going to need a lot of help.
Volunteers are still needed at select locations in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx.
Essentially you’ll be an ambassador for a day, handing out books, chatting with the public and Book Day and the Irish Arts Center, as well as promoting Irish arts, culture, and literacy on the whole helping us reach New Yorkers of all ages and ethnicities.
Interested in helping out? Please call the Irish Arts Center at 212-757-3318 x 202, or e-mail Jen Browne at volunteer@irishartscenter.org
Beware the Ides of March
March 15th approaches, and it has me thinking of old Julius Caesar, which makes me think of Shakespeare, and that reminds me that the Royal Shakespeare Company is coming to NYC this summer. Which is cool under any circumstances, but the fact that they’re performing at the Park Avenue Armory makes it infinitely cooler. No, of course the tickets aren’t remotely affordable. But if you’re looking to splurge on live theatre, it sure beats Spiderman.
Check it: RSC at the Armory
Follow the Debate, Be a Part of the Solution
No matter your personal opinions on digital media, if you’re buying eBooks for a library collection, you need to understand the implications for your users. The recent decision by HarperCollins to limit eBook checkouts to 26 got me following Alycia Sellie’s take on it all, which lead me to learn more about her work on The Readers Bill of Rights for Digital Books. Alycia says:
We will be presenting the Readers Bill of Rights for Digital Books on April 1st at ACRL annual in Philadelphia. We’ll be discussing all of these issues and more. Right now we’re considering actions that could be taken then, and ways that we as librarians can collectively battle oppressive restrictions upon our right to read. I hope many librarians will be able to attend!
If you’ll be in Philly for ACRL, check out the April first presentation and report back. In the meantime, share your comments.

Stacks and Shelves and Rooms of Our Own
I like reading about libraries in journals and magazines meant for practitioners of other arts, particularly when they draw from our namesake movie for inspiration. For example James Murdock’s recent article from Architectural Record celebrating the past and future of library design.
In the past, a central aisle offered the only way to navigate through these buildings. In the future, users must be allowed to make their own paths. But rest assured, books will always be there in both paper and digital form. In a world where everything is digitized, there is knowledge to be gained from the simple, tactile act of holding a printed work.
Oh, and don’t miss the slide show.

Mardi Gras at Daddy’s
If, like me, you live in the northern reaches of Brooklyn, you have likely issued many thanks to the stars for the appearance of this bar of bars way back in 2002. (Tonight happens to be their 9th Anniversary, so if you’re in the neighborhood, get there after 9:00 to celebrate with some gourmet hotdogs, the best juke this side of the East River, and some age-appropriate companions…)
A week from tonight is Mardi Gras, and you better believe we’ll spend it at Daddy’s. Not only can you depend on some delicious frozen hurricanes and colorful beads for all, you can also enter a fantastic raffle and make a donation to the St. Bernard Project in New Orleans. SBP is a non profit, community based organization whose mission is to “to create housing opportunities so that Hurricane Katrina survivors can return to their homes and communities.”

Nerdy Gogo Dancers — Shushed Raffle — Queer-lit Drinks
A Desk Set Production
Who We Are: Que(e)ry began in 2010 as a subgroup of The Desk Set, an informal group of librarians, archivists, library science students and other individuals who love books and occasionally throw fund-raising parties for non-profit organizations whose missions support literacy and culture. Que(e)ry was developed by Desk Set members as a safe space for everyone; Que(e)ry aims to promote awareness for non-profit organizations that have established libraries and archives that advocate for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and two spirit (GLBTIQTS) rights and heritage. Que(e)ry has held 2 successful parties to benefit organizations like the LGBT Center, the Lesbian Herstory Archives, the Tom of Finland Foundation, and the Leather Archives and Museum.
Event Details: The third Desk-Set-sponsored dance party for queer librarians and those who love them kicks-off on Friday, March 18, 2011 at Blackout Bar from 8:00pm until 4:00am. Blackout Bar is located at 916 Manhattan Avenue, Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York, 11222. All proceeds from the party will benefit the Library and Archives of the Transgender Foundation of America, in Houston, TX. Que(e)ry III will feature queer DJs, queer raffle prizes, queer go-go dancers, and queer literary-themed drinks.
DJ Emoticon: During her years as a party DJ in San Francisco and New York during the early 2000s Lauryn Siegel was known as DJ Lambchop. She has been on hiatus for the past few years and has recently been reborn as DJ Emoticon. She describes her style as a make-it-up-as-you-go-along mix of new hipster faves and old school dance classics. If she were to pick one word to sum this genre up it would be: post-discoclashdubstepelectrofreakpunkwave.
DJ Adam E. Milksop: Adam White has spun his jamz as a DJ for the fabulous Milksop parties hosted at Union Pool, Brooklyn.
DJ CP: Originally hailing from the Windy City of the Chicago, DJ CP worked the dance floor into a frenzy at Chances Dances and Off-Chances with his records.

and, speaking of the
Leather Archive and Museum
did you know that there was such a place? Just one of the many ways in libraries can be so utterly surprising, and one of the many potential examples to give to those who wonder “So, what does a librarian do exactly?”
If you happen to be in Chicago, why not check it out?
Here’s what their website says about the collections:
The Leather Archives & Museum is a library, museum and archives pertaining to Leather, fetishism, sadomasochism, and alternative sexual practices. The geographic collection scope is worldwide and includes all sexual orientations and genders. The library collection contains published books, magazines, scholarly publications, films and electronic resources related to the subject matter. The museum collection contains original erotic art and artifacts from alternative sex organizations and individuals. The archival collection contains unpublished papers and records from notable activists, artists, businesses and organizations related to the subject matter.
You can find everything from works by the Marquis de Sade, to complete sets of Drummer Magazine. And you can search for all of it in their online catalog. Hot.
Book Thug Nation
Opened by longtime booksellers who previously sold their wares on the streets of NYC, this independent used book store specializes in literary fiction – like any good indie bookseller should! – but also boasts an impressive martial arts collection (how about that?), and serves as a community space that “fosters the literary arts in Brooklyn while being a welcoming place where anyone can walk in, have a cup of coffee and talk about books.” (Sounds a little like a library, no?)
This Saturday September 25th (rain date Sunday, September 26th) BTN is holding “an all-day book sale to raise money for Daniel McGowan‘s legal defense and commissary fund. The sale will be held at the Book Thug Nation book tables on Bedford Avenue and North 6th Street in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Along with great books at cheap prices, there will be music, a table with Daniel t-shirts, merchandise and literature and maybe even some free food!”
Want to contribute? Take your desirable donations (be sure to check the website for the kinds of books they are looking for) to the BTN storefront on N. 3rd between Berry and Wythe, and let them know the books are intended for the fundraiser. Unsold books will be donated to Books Through Bars (oh, you know we like that).
and in case you didn’t know,
starts on September 25th.
So get your library display shelves ready, and bust out your copies of The Perks of Being a Wallflower and the His Dark Materials trilogy, ’cause we’re about to read dangerously.

As June comes to a close and the Pride parade has passed, the team from Que(e)ry would like to share our very favorites in GLBT literature:
- Billey Bibliographic Control -
It’s so hard to choose! There are so many great queer books! And how to decide? So many GLBT books comes into our lives at just the right time. When we are teenagers exploring our who we are, when we just want to identify with the characters a little better, or simply when they are just great works of literature that happen to be real gay. My choices fall into coming of age and good queer reads. (oh and I have a real soft spot for short stories that might sway my opinion)
Allison, Dorothy. 2002. Trash: stories. New York: Plume.
Baldwin, James. 1956. Giovanni’s room; a novel. New York: Dial Press.
Barnes, Djuna. 1937. Nightwood. [New York]: New Classics. 
Brown, Rebecca. 1994. The gifts of the body. New York: HarperCollins.

Winterson, Jeanette. 2007. The stone gods. Orlando: Harcourt.
- LOC Casanova / Tara -
Ok, my list of favorite queer books must be a list of books my Dad once sent me in the mail. Before I “officially” told my father I was queer, he gave me a number of books, telling me: “I bought these after discovering that my old girlfriend in high school was a lesbian…I think you should have them.”
His selections are endearing:
Hall, Radclyffe. 1928. The well of loneliness. Garden City, N.Y.: Sun Dial Press.
Sappho. 2002. Poems and Fragments. Indianapolis: Hackett.
Wittig, Monique. 1986. The lesbian body. Boston: Beacon Press.

I also recommend the following:
Butler, Judith. 1990. Gender trouble: feminism and the subversion of identity. Thinking gender. New York: Routledge.
Bordowitz, Gregg, and James Sampson Meyer. 2004.The AIDS crisis is ridiculous and other writings : 1986-2003. The MIT Press writing art series. Cambridge, Mass: MIT Press.
Genet, Jean. 1974. Querelle. New York: Grove Press : distributed by Random House.
Mishima, Yukio. 1958. Confessions of a mask. Norfolk, Conn: New Directions.
Peraldi, Francois. 1995. Polysexuality. New York: Semiotext(e).
We can’t thank everyone enough for coming out (pun totally intended) for Que(e)ry on June 18th. Your support made our efforts an enormous success, as well as tremendously helped the Tom of Finland Foundation and the Lesbian Herstory Archives. Please watch for us in the future as we plan the next party! You can find us on Facebook (our profile is coming soon!), Flickr, Twitter, and Tumbr!

Not Your Mother’s Craft Fair
So, here’s my perfect weekend morning: sleep late, eat eggs, buy a handmade skirt made out of vintage New York Yankees bedsheets. Back in 2005, when the Renegade Craft Fair first came to McCarren Park, such was my dream Saturday. Other treats picked up over the years at RFC include a bottle opener featuring a 50s era gal opining, “Babies creep me out,” a “What would Tim Gunn do?” button, and any number of “Reading is Sexy” items. Librarians and DIY crafters tend to like each other (and often be each other), so we feel pretty confident in saying we’ll see a lot of you there!

Cook Book
Aimee Bender‘s new novel The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake is a little sweet, a little tart, with hints of magic and heaps of melancholy. The young heroine is blessed/besotted with the gift of empathy through eating – she can feel the emotions of whoever prepared the food she tastes, leading her to refuse her dissatisfied mother’s cooking for anything that came out of a factory. Don’t be fooled by the pastel and curlie-cue cover; this is a good book.
We’re delighted to extend a super swell offer from our friends at Symphony Space: use code SSP
253 for $10 tickets (regular price $24) to see Ms. Bender in conversation with Heidi Julavits about The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake as part of the Thalia Book Club.

Walking towards the Brooklyn Public Library’s Love Your Library Day celebration this past picture perfect Saturday afternoon, I caught the eye of a passerby who smiled and said “Go buy a book for a dollar to support the library!” Indeed, that’s where I was headed, and partly why I was headed there, but hearing the suggestion from a stranger made it feel like an even more satisfying way to spend my afternoon. Now, she could have been a librarian or library worker. But I feel pretty certain she was a patron. One of the many patrons who turned up to sign petitions, listen to live music, buy some cheap books, and support the library. Sometimes it feels like the only people speaking up for libraries are librarians. But that’s way off. It’s not just about looking out for our jobs, or our colleagues, it’s about looking out for the millions of New Yorkers who see the value in an institution that wants to spread, share and celebrate information. Not for the price of a laptop, an iPad or a Kindle, but for free free free.
Despite what happened in Queens this week (see below), it is still important to let your voice be heard if you count yourself among the library lovers. And what better way to speak out than by throwing down vintage style with a pen and paper, and sending a postcard to the city council?
In case you are not friendly with Urban Librarians Unite on Facebook (and you really should be), here’s what our retroactivist hero Christian Zabriskie had to say:
If you haven’t heard the news 90 day notices of layoff have been handed out to hundreds of Queens Library staff. Over a third of the workforce of this year’s Library Journal Library of the year and the top circulating library system in America is being given notice this week.
Although it is tempting to give up, to throw up our hands and decry the ways of the world, we cannot allow ourselves to do so. We are at a crux in the history of libraries in New York City. Not only will dozens of libraries be closed if this budget goes through but hours on others will be so drastically slashed that the library will simply cease to be a regular part of those communities. It will go from a neighborhood resource and common area to another inconvenience in the city and people drop the library habit because it becomes simply too awkward. The kids will stop coming and parents will no longer automatically default to the library as rendezvous. That ebb and flow of the public which we all love so much will dry up.
On top of that this has the potential to be an incredible drain of library talent. A generation of up and coming library professionals, people with energy and ideas and so much potential, are being nipped off the vine just as they are coming into their professional potential. These people will either leave the profession or drift off somewhere else to some place where there are library jobs to be found, Oz perhaps or Wonderland. The point is, they won’t be with us, they won’t be serving our kids, teaching our elders, watching our forgotten. We will have to start all over again in the years to come when the budgets come eeking back, if they come back. If we have anyone left to care about getting money back for these dusty foreign stacks.
We will not go gentle into this good night. No my friends, we will keep getting out there, keep going to the rallies, and keep getting our postcards in. If they want to kill our libraries then let us drown them in our cards, shout them down, force them to see what they have the potential to lose and if, at the end of all that, the budget changes not a dime let us say that we did everything we could in the fight that was fought.
Thank you for your support. My deepest sorrow to everyone who got a letter this week from Queens and who stands to get a letter some week in the future from other Tri-Li libraries.

If you haven’t sent in a postcard yet, there is still time. And the Desk Set is trying to make it as easy and stylish as possible. We are thrilled to announce that Polluted Eyeball will be screenprinting brand new Save NYC Libraries postcards at DDLR on Saturday, May 22nd. You can pick up a card, or even watch it be made, then head over the Postcard table to write your personal message to the City Council. We will deliver the cards to Councilmember Jimmy Van Bramer, a library ally who will present all the cards to the council.
We are super grateful to Peter at Polluted Eyeball for this tremendous addition to the party, and we hope to see you all there!
But if you can’t come, make your own postcard in support of your library and send it to:
Councilmember Jimmy Van Bramer
