Philly Aids Thrift at Giovanni’s Room
Nestled in the heart of Philadelphia, Giovanni’s Room is a venerable institution, an emblematic sanctuary of LGBTQ and feminist literature, culture, and camaraderie since its inception in 1973. Beyond its function as a bookstore, it unfurls a rich tapestry of history and a safe haven that has gracefully mirrored and contributed to the evolution and visibility of the LGBTQ community in Philadelphia.
After a temporary closure in 2014, its legacy has been thoughtfully preserved and revitalized by Philadelphia AIDS Thrift, ensuring that Giovanni's Room continues to be a lighthouse of literature, love, and legacy for the LGBTQ community and its allies in the heart of Philadelphia.
