OutBook Club

The OutBook Book Club is supported by the Palm Springs Public Library. Selections are chosen by group members and highlight a mix of new LGBTQ+ releases and influential classics.

OutBook meets on the first Wednesday of the month in The Learning Center at the Palm Springs Public Library (unless otherwise noted) at 6:00 p.m. The book discussion starts at 6:30 p.m. (from 6:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. is a social mixer). For questions and information about the OutBook Book Club, please email book club coordinator Hubertus Zegers in advance of the meeting.

OutBook OutLoud is a speakers series connected to OutBook providing opportunities to engage with LGBTQ+ authors nationwide. If you're an author and/or know someone who might be a great speaker—please contact Hubertus Zegers.
