Dick’s Lending Library accepts both monetary and book donations. As a community-run resource, we appreciate & thank you for your support!
Monetary Donations
Monetary donations made directly to the library will go towards hosting community events, compensating workshop facilitators, expanding our collection, and operational expenses.
Donate through Éditions Agenda:
Dick’s and Agenda have partnered to offer library donors the option of purchasing in-store credit to expand the collection. Agenda is a Tio’tia:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal-based publisher and bookseller dedicated to transfeminine writing and transfeminism.

Book Donations
Dick’s welcomes donations of new and used books that fit within our mandate to showcase trans, non-binary, and Two Spirit literary and cultural production. You are welcome to browse our wish-lists of English and French-language books.
We are particularly interested in expanding our collection in the following areas: French-language literature, children & YA books, and art books. We accept duplicates of books already in our collection.
If you would like to donate a book, please complete our book donation form to begin the donation process. Feel free to contact us at collections [at] dickslendinglibrary [dot] com with any questions.
