Charis Books & More

What you’ll find

LGBTQIA+ and trans books woven throughout fiction, nonfiction and all-ages sections, alongside feminist theory, racial justice, disability writing, poetry and distinctive children's literature. Charis Circle adds readings, groups and social-justice programmes.

Best time to browse

Allow time for staff picks rather than racing a shopping list. Weekday mornings are calm; readings and community programmes bring the house alive. Check whether an event is in person or streamed and request interpretation early when needed.

Online store & international shipping

The website lists titles available to order, not a live mirror of books currently on the shelf. Most orders are processed within 48 hours and ship or become ready for pickup within one to seven business days; phone for immediate stock confirmation.

Payment methods

Secure checkout shows current online methods, and the store can take phone orders. Confirm a required wallet or institutional process directly. Event admission and books may follow different arrangements, especially for nonprofit Charis Circle programming.

Privacy & inclusion

Independent, queer and feminist, all-ages and disability-justice informed. The building has van-accessible parking, two ramps, movable shelves, wheelchair-accessible gender-neutral bathrooms, braille signs and free ASL interpretation for most programmes by advance request.
