Hey I've heard that the LGBT is developing a library of gay books and films. Just thought I would mention that play.com is doing a promotion on Gay interest dvds. All £7.99.

Oooh, this is really cool. The Library has been in long need of improving it's contents. The two copies of Ellen Degenres's autobiography and a book about lesbian hair certain'y doesn't constitute a gay-library to be proud of.

It might also be good to look at that top 20 gay books booklist and invest in a couple. The uni should be able to fund it if Phil puts that into the bidget for Autumn.

Shame I won't be around to borrow! :)

Yeh we do indeed already have £100 in the budget from this year to spend on any items for the library! Thanks for the tip Paul! Any suggestions on DVDs people?

Check the uni library catalogue before buying any as there are quite a lot of films already within the system, doesn't seem to make much sense to duplicate whae is already available. Have seen Eating Out, My Beautiful Laundrette, Bad Education, SommerStorm, Le Clan, Beefcake, Two Btrothers, from the uni libraryand I know there are more.

On the books side how about Tales of the CIty (just won the GAY BIG READ)
Trumpet, Jackie Kay
A home at the end of the world, Michael Cunninham (also a dvd with Colin Farrell)

Doing some before-moving-out cleaning, I've found some DVDs belonging to the Society. Can't believe they've been in my house for so long! Who should I give them to?

Oh God, it's just started pissing down like mad!!!

Paul, I think the LGBT library already has a copy of Trumpet, I'm happy to say. :o) xx

Just give them to the first committee member you come across Alberto!

We have got a good few books, but I'm not entirely sure what they are. If I get a chance to go into uni soon, I'll make a list of what we have and post it up here so people can add any suggestions. Or if any other committee membes happen to be going that way in the not too distant future..?

w00t! they DO have Eating Out in the library! How funny is that!? Classic film! Tips though; never watch it with your vaguely-gay fag hags - they might easily get the wrong idea...

Watched Eating out with a few straight friends

First comment was "are you sure this is a fifteen, it looks like porn to me."

I know the CU have the library listed on their website any idea if we could do something similar. Be fantastic to have a library but what use is it if no one knows about it or uses it.

Emma's Secret Domination is a modern classic, I think it's appalling that we don't have the rest of the series in the library! I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a laugh and isn't too squeamish...

Hayley Mills is more than likely gonna b sending me sum more copies of a 'Gay to Z' booklet her youth group/service wrote for LGBT young people in Blackpool, its pretty damn good. I've also got a copy of the LGBT info book that was produced by the assembly (on disc, costs bout 2quid 2 print) so if u want it in there I'll more than happily chuck it on a disc 4u.

Gay dictionary and alyson almanac are great read. It is basically list-maniacs making lists of evreything gay and anti-gay.

I quite like the other side of the closet as well.

Right-o, I've made a brand new library page on the website, so you can have a look at what we've actually got! (I agree there's not much point it being there if no-one knows about it)

http://www.leeds.ac.uk/union/socs/lgb/library.html

Enjoy!
