For about a year, locals seeking information about marginalized communities have had a safe, comfortable community space to check out resources. Literally. The Moab Pride Library lives in a shady nook at Adobe Garden Apothecary. It’s a space where people peruse everything from queer literature to Black and Indigenous history. Moab Pride organizer Desirae Miller took us on a tour of the library for our latest audio portrait.
