Libraries foster community connection and information consumption; libraries aid in development and add value through cultural engagement. Supporting, connecting, informing, in their many iterations, Libraries are at the heart of communities.
At present, the Pan Eros Foundation Library exists in a halted, non-functioning state of transition. Once a catalogued Special Collections Library, the collection had been weeded with a focus on more cohesive content and utility and was well on its way to becoming a functioning Research Library for the community. The Seattle area, and the sex-positive culture as a whole, are not being supported by this valuable resource.
The Pan Eros Foundation has found a new Head Librarian, Erin Baker. We are excited for Erin to finish the Library reorganization project and help make this valuable resource of information about sexuality available once again! Our goal is for the Library to resume operations in the fall of 2019.
A note from the new Pan Eros Head Librarian:
Having earned a Master degree in Library and Information Science at the University of Washington’s Information School and being a Washington State accredited Librarian, I welcome the opportunity to serve a community that I am a part of in a professional capacity.
Please look for a celebratory announcement of the Library re-opening later this year. If you would like to make a donation to support the Library in its transition, you can do so online here. If you would like to volunteer your time in assisting the Library in its transition, please email information@pan-eros.org and your email will be forwarded to Erin.
The Pan Eros Library celebrates and cultivates sexuality by making available unusual and rare books about sexuality.
