For the Love of Books is a relaxed, welcoming Queer Book Club and Library Tour hosted by the Cape Town Lesbians in collaboration with Cape Town Pride.
The session starts with a guided tour of the Cape Town Central Library, highlighting its wonderful queer book collection and spaces. After the tour, attendees can gather for a casual meet-and-greet — a chance to chat, connect, and share book recommendations in an easy, social setting.
You don’t need to be a big reader to join. Many people come for the conversations, the sense of community, and the shared love of stories. It’s a safe, inclusive space, and a lovely event to attend on your own.
Afterwards, those who’d like to can join for an indulgent chocolate and coffee experience at Rapt on Buitekant Street (optional, everyone pays for themselves).
