Gerber/Hart Library
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gerber/Hart Library, founded in 1981, is the largest [1] circulating library of gay and lesbian titles in the Midwestern United States. Located in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, it houses over 14,000 volumes, 800 periodical titles, and 100 archival collections.
Although a private non-profit, the library has received taxpayer funds for its continuing operation from Illinois' "Fund for the Future," including a $25,000 grant in 1999. [2]
