You Have Questions.
Queer Chocolatier Has (Some) Answers!
It is vitally important that we continue to seek education and learning and growth as we get older. The world may seem like it is a constantly changing place—and it is—but that doesn’t mean you can’t continue to learn and adapt, especially when your growth (or lack thereof) can impact someone you know.
If you have questions about sexuality or gender identity and expression, either for yourself or someone you unapologetically love, Queer Chocolatier has a resource library that can help you begin your journey! We have around 40 books that explore sexuality and gender through essays, histories, and fiction. Some are deep into theory, others are good introductions, and others still are appropriate for any step in your education in these fields.
Our Queer Resource Library! Plus, Astrology, which is def #queerculture
We are always seeking to expand and grow our library, so if you have any recommendations for additions or if you have questions that aren’t quite answered by what we have on our shelves, come talk to one of us or send us a message and we will seek out the appropriate resources to add to our curation. We are also proud supporters of the Muncie Public Library and are confident the resource librarians could assist you locally as well! If you need even more resources and additional support, check out the folx at Muncie OUTreach and join in the community while also considering volunteering for and/or donating to their organization!
If you have chocolate or baking questions, we have a few detailed books and a passionate chocolatier to talk with on these topics! Just make sure you’ve set aside enough time to have her wax on and on about all things chocolate and sociology and politics and economics and environment and… ahem.
But wait, there’s more! We also have a Little Free Library for you to donate and borrow as you please!
