The Queer Liberation Library (QLL, pronounced "quill")[1] is an LGBT digital library based in the United States. QLL aims to provide resources representing LGBT communities in an online space that is accessible to anyone in the United States, especially those living in areas where physical access to LGBT books is limited.[2] QLL is run by a steering committee composed of volunteers, led by founder Kieran Hickey.[3] The library began fundraising in the summer of 2023 and launched the collection of LGBT ebooks and audiobooks on October 23, 2023.[1][3]
