Mother Is A Time by Ocean Vuong + Aesop Eleos Aromatique Hand Cream

Aesop Queer Library returns for the final weekend of Pride Month, transforming three stores in Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto into ephemeral installations that amplify LGBTQIA2S+ voices. Beloved soaps and potions will have been cleared away and replaced with books—a deliberate initiative that feels all the more critical when over half of last year’s 4,000+ banned books featured LGBTQ characters or people of color.

Make the trek to a Queer Library with haste (book installations close June 30, 2025) and choose a complimentary title (no purchase necessary). Take a peek at this year’s reading list; I left with a copy of Mother Is A Time by Ocean Vuong.
