The James C. Hormel LGBTQIA Center

100 Larkin St.

3rd Floor, San Francisco Public Library

Billed as the Queerest Library Ever, the James C. Hormel LGBTQIA Center is the gateway to the Library’s broader collections documenting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual and allies’ history and culture, with a special emphasis on the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Center also collaborates with other library departments and community organizations to sponsor a diverse array of exhibitions and public programs.

The Hormel Center Reading Room on the 3rd floor of the Main Library serves as the home-base of the Center and houses a selection of non-circulating books and magazines.
