LILAC - Wellington's lesbian library

LILAC (Lesbian Information, Library and Archives Centre) is Wellington's lending library for women-oriented women - women who form their primary relationships with women. It operates from a room upstairs at 64 Cambridge Terrace (corner of Fifeshire St) - just follow the signs. LILAC is a women-only space, although small children with their mums are okay.

Come in and look around the collection, renew your membership or join.
Note that there are no money machines nearby, so you need to bring cash or a cheque to pay the annual subscription.
