Help Us Build Nigeria’s First Queer Library and Resource Hub
At Obodo Nigeria, we’ve always believed in the power of stories—stories that educate, heal, and challenge us to imagine better futures. We invite you to join us in a 30-day Book Donation Drive to make history, this February. We are building a Library and Resource Hub in Lagos—a space dedicated to queer and allied literature. It’s more than just a library; it’s a space for connection, reflection, and empowerment, and we can’t do it without you.
Why This Matters
Queer voices deserve to be heard, celebrated and remembered. More and more queer authors are writing powerful, transformative stories, but access to these works isn’t always easy. Our library will ensure that queer people in Nigeria can find and connect with this growing body of literature—stories that reflect their past, their experiences, challenge stereotypes, and inspire new ways of being. This library will:
Preserve Queer Stories: Protect and celebrate the voices that deserve space in our collective history.
Inspire Communities: Provide books and resources to help LGBTQ+ people and allies learn, grow, and thrive.
Encourage Dialogue: Foster understanding and connection between diverse communities.
How You Can Help
This isn’t just our project—it’s a community effort. Here’s how you can get involved:
Spread the Word: Share this initiative with your network or on your platforms. Every share makes a difference.
Donate Books: We’re collecting all kinds of books—fiction, nonfiction, biographies, self-help and more, with a special focus on queer literature and authors.
Support Financially: Help us cover logistics for pickups, deliveries, and building the space. [Donate Here]
Collaborate With Us: Let’s find creative ways to bring this vision to life together.
What to Expect
Over the next 30 days, we’ll share updates on how the drive is going. You’ll meet some of the incredible donors and learn about the books making their way to the library. We’ll also reflect on why inclusive literature matters and how it changes lives.
