Rainbow
Book Bus
WELCOME ABOARD THE
As anti-LGBTQ+ book bans sweep the country, ShopQueer.co is preparing to launch a loud, proud, and very queer bookmobile across the United States. Our Rainbow Book Bus will combine the comfort and resources of a brick-and-mortar bookstore with the excitement and energy of pop-up book festivals, bringing queer joy, stories, and community to the places that need it the most.
Our Mission
The Partnership Behind the Bus
〰️
The Partnership Behind the Bus 〰️
A fully volunteer-run nonprofit that empowers local organizations by finding, vetting, and fundraising for LGBTQ+ youth programs across the country.
An independent bookshop that splits its profits with queer authors, doubling their income on the sale of a book. Because when you’re queer, you’re family.
Help support the Rainbow Book Bus transformation!
We created a Patreon to support wayOUT as they partner with ShopQueer.co to transform a school bus into a traveling queer book fair. They’re also documenting the transformation and turning it into a six-episode web series with the first episode premiering on April 18th! Every dollar is a donation that directly supports wayOUT and their work to strengthen spaces where LGBTQ+ youth can feel safe.
