This weekend only in Los Angeles – and just in time to close out Pride Month – the Aesop store in Larchmont has been transformed into a free book giveaway!
Aesop has revived the Aesop Queer Library, bringing the power of LGBTQIA+ storytelling to one store in NYC and one in L.A. from Friday, June 26 to Sunday, June 28 with complimentary books.
“This year, the Library celebrates how writing that centers on the queer body can challenge assumptions, give greater visibility to stories too often overlooked or ignored, and serve as an act of joyful resistance,” reads Aesop’s website. “To that end, we have once again partnered with the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation—an indispensable advocate for freedom of speech and expression.
Guests simply walk into the store and grab a free book, no purchase required.
