Quietly Queer: Bookstore Walk + Social

Join us for a relaxed stroll through two cozy bookstores in Oakland, ending with an optional social.

We’ll start at Walden Pond Books, browse at our own pace, and then wander over to Clio’s Books, where you can continue browsing books, sip a drink (NA beverages offered), play chess, or just hang out quietly. This is a low-pressure meetup, perfect if you want something social but gentle, or if you’re new and easing your way in. No need to be “on,” no expectations. Just a peaceful afternoon with other LGBTQ+ introverts and allies.

🗓 Date & Time: December 20 at 4PM
📍 Meeting Spot: Walden Pond Books, 3412 Grand Ave, Oakland
💡 Vibe: Come as you are, sneakers, comfy layers, strollers, and dogs all welcome.
