Our Mission

The Rainbow Book Bus aims to promote and protect access to representative books and media for queer communities and anyone impacted by anti-inclusive legislation.

A group of LGBTQ+ authors hold posters of their book covers in front of a rainbow school bus that says "ShopQueer.co" and "Read Queer"
A pink stop sign attached to a rainbow-painted bus that says "Stop Hate" in white text and capital letters.

Our Inaugural Cross-Country Tour was a Success!

Partnering with LGBTQ+ centers throughout the South, we brought our loud, proud bookmobile to communities that have been hardest hit by book bans and discriminatory legislation.

Your tax-deductible donation will help us maximize our impact: every $10 donated gets another book into the hands of a young person that needs it.

With your support, we can spread literature, life-saving resources, and queer joy throughout the country.
