Aesop’s Queer Library is set to return to Auckland next month, showcasing a selection of titles by LGBTQIA+ authors.

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

In Australia, 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 the library terms, 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.

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