Oogachaga Community Services took the difficult decision of writing to The Straits Times Forum, in response to recent news.

📚 August, in all its different rhythms. 🇸🇬

It is a month of celebration, of National Day, of thinking about home and the many ways we belong.

And if there is a time to turn towards our own stories, this is it.

On our shelves are voices from here, local q***r lives, memories, and imaginings that reflect the many ways of being in Singapore.

We will be open on all Saturdays in August, except 8 August as we take a short break over the National Day weekend.

Please note that on 1 August, the library will open later at 3pm.

On the other Saturdays, come by to explore our collection of local q***r literature, spend some time in the space, and be part of a community that continues to grow around these stories. 🌿

📚 July is here, and while Pride Month may have passed, Pride continues every day. 🌈✨

If you stopped by our booth at Pink Dot, it was lovely meeting you! And if you have been meaning to visit, this is your sign to come by, check out the collection, or take a breather in our safe space. 💖

July feels a little quieter here after Pride, but our doors are still open and the welcome remains the same. Q***r stories are still waiting on the shelves, and there is always space for you to browse, borrow, return, or simply spend a little time here.

We will be open on all Saturdays in July. Come by to discover something new, revisit a favourite, or ease into an unhurried afternoon with us. 🌿

Pride carries on in these small, steady moments, in showing up, in staying, and in the spaces we continue to build together. ✨

📚 June is here, and Pride Month has arrived! 🌈✨

At Pelangi Pride Centre, we are celebrating Pride all month long with stories, community, and shared space. This is a time for visibility, connection, and joy, and we are so happy to be sharing it with you in the way we know best through books and a welcoming place to gather. 💖

We will be open on three Saturdays in June, on the 6th, 13th, and 20th. Come by to browse, discover something new, or simply spend time in the space and soak in the Pride Month energy. 🌈

On 27 June, the library will be closed as we will be out at Pink Dot. If you are able to be there, come find us and celebrate Pride together in the community. 🌟

Here’s to a month of q***r stories, joy, and visibility. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈✨

In honour of International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOT) this year, we took time to reflect on the importance of safety, dignity, and the right to simply be, alongside communities in Singapore, and around the world.

This year’s theme, At the Heart of Democracy, reminds us that inclusion is not separate from democracy. It is part of how communities are built and sustained, grounded in dignity, equity, and the ability for everyone to participate fully in society.

As we continue to stand against homophobia, transphobia, biphobia, and other forms of exclusion, we remain committed to creating and sustaining an inclusive space where people can feel safe, seen, and at ease. At Pelangi Pride Centre, this takes shape in quiet and everyday ways. Through the books we curate, the care behind how the space is run, and Saturday afternoons where anyone who needs a calm, private corner can find one. Whether you are here to read, rest, or simply step away from the rush outside, you are welcome. 💖

This space continues to exist because of a community that grows with care, intention, and quiet commitment.

📚 May is here, and we are one step closer to Pride Month. 🌈

Pelangi Pride Centre continues to be a space for stories, rest, and community as we move into the mid year stretch. Whether you are dropping by to browse, borrow, return, or simply spend some time in a familiar corner, we are always happy to see you. 💖

We will be open on all Saturdays in May except 2 May, which is Labour Day. On that day, the library will be closed as we take a moment to rest and to honour our volunteers, whose ongoing care and dedication keep this space running in both visible and behind the scenes ways.

As we head towards Pride Month in June, we look forward to sharing more stories, connections, and community with you in the weeks ahead. 🌟

📚 This Labour Day, we celebrate the people who make this space possible. 🌈

Pelangi Pride Centre has been running for a long time because of the steady care, passion, and commitment of our volunteers. From keeping the shelves in order to welcoming every visitor who walks through our doors, their quiet dedication is what keeps this library alive and growing. 💖

Beyond our library, we also want to recognise the sheer volume of volunteers who continue to support and sustain Singapore’s q***r communities in many different ways. So much of this work happens quietly, consistently, and with deep care, often without much visibility, and we are grateful to be part of that wider ecosystem of support.

To honour and thank our own volunteers, the library will be closed on 2 May 2026. This is a small pause to recognise the many hours and heart that go into sustaining this space.

For readers, please note that all books due on 2 May will be automatically extended to 9 May.

If you are feeling inspired to join us, we would love to welcome you. We are always open to new energy, ideas, and helping hands. You can find the sign up link in our bio. 🌟

Thank you for being part of this journey with us, and for believing in what this space stands for.
