Small but great independent LGBTQ bookstore with a robust schedule of readings and events.

Such a unique and much needed space for the Queer community in NYC! This is probably one of the best LGBT bookstores in the city. The owner is very kind and friendly and the bookstore is actually inside the LGBT Center on the second floor

Great selection of Queer zines, books, and ephemera. Love coming for the special exhibitions and programs, and walking into the Center, and peeking in at the Keith Haring mural.
The Bureau of General Services—Queer Division is an independent, all-volunteer queer cultural center, bookstore, and event space founded in 2012 and hosted by The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in New York City since 2014. We aim to foster a community invested in the values of mindfulness, intellectual curiosity, justice, compassion, and playfulness. The Bureau seeks to excite and educate a self-confident, sex-positive, and supportive queer community by offering books, publications, and art and by hosting readings, performances, film screenings, book discussion groups, and workshops. We provide local and visiting queers and friends with an open and inclusive space for dialogue and socializing.
