Aesop’s Queer Library is set to return to Melbourne and Sydney this February to showcase a selection of titles by 45 LGBTQIA+ authors.

The body care brand will open the library at Aesop QV in Melbourne from February 7 to 11 and at Aesop Bondi Junction in Sydney from February 28 to March 3.

During those dates, Aesop will remove all its products from the shelves and replace them with the selected books purchased from Melbourne’s queer bookshop Hares & Hyenas, Allen & Unwin, and University of Queensland Press.

In addition, the library will debut at Aesop Ponsonby in Auckland from February 16 to February 18, featuring 11 titles by authors in New Zealand.

Aesop has also collaborated with digital and print publication Archer Magazine to create a video of author interviews for the retailer’s website.
