The LGBTQ Resource Center is eager to support you! Below, you will find a list of local and national resources for a variety of topics. We also have plenty of free resources located within our space at G225 in the MU Student Center, including pronoun pins, pride flag stickers, sexual health products, and more.
Our Library
The MU LGBTQ Resource Center is proud to offer a diverse library of books available for check-out. All MU students, faculty, and staff can check out up to 3 books at a time for a period of 2 weeks each; all you need is your MU email! There are no fees or penalties for late returns. The center also offers a robust archive of magazines and journals for you to peruse and learn more about our history.
Our library consists of books purchased by the center and books that are kindly donated by our community. If you would like to donate a book, your name will be displayed on the front as a thank you for your generous donation.
Should you have a suggestion for the library, please reach out to lgbtq@missouri.edu.
