Queer Women Reading Whatever We Fancy: "Yesteryear" by Caro Claire Burke

Hi all- So we finally made it to "Yesteryear." This is a tough one to get from the library which is why I projected it out a few months ago- the good thing is despite the long wait from NYPL, they have almost 600 hard copies. If anyone needs a copy to attend, message me here and we can see if we can share with others who may purchase it, etc. I have a copy from my workplace but also kept my spot on the hold list (I'm in the low 200s now of 3000ish holds) so may be able to help someone out that way, too. We'll be at the Center- see you soon! Rebecca
