Jim Toy Library
A library housed within the University of Michigan's Spectrum Center in the Union, the Jim Toy Library acquires the latest LGBT fiction and non-fiction and also offers DVDs, CDs, and board games in addition to its books. This library is added to our collection because it prioritized LGBT communities and their writing. The library is open to students, faculty, and visitors outside the institution. To check out books during open hours (Monday through Friday 9am - 6pm), however, one will need an M Card (University of Michigan ID). This library is named after LGBT activist and alumnus Jim Toy who established the now-called Spectrum Center in 1971.
