The Pacific Northwest Library for Sex Positive Culture

The Library has a broad collection of over 10,000 pieces - many rare and unusual - and is one of the largest of its kind. Members can check out materials for free, for up to four weeks. This is an incredible resource, including fiction, nonfiction and pulp-fiction books; magazines and periodicals; and comics and pictorials.  There are carefully preserved reference and special collection books.  In addition, there is a large media and pornography section.

Non-members can write director@sexpositiveculture.org for permission to use the library on-site and check out materials.


Members-Only Social Networking Site

We have our own, members-only social networking site called CenterSpace. As a member, you can share stories, make friends, discuss events, see who else is attending, and RSVP if you are. Live chat in the evenings! This is a great way to connect with other members.

Access to CenterSpace requires an invite from the Executive Director, so please write to director@sexpositiveculture.org and we'll send you an invitation to join. Please include your name, the name on your card, and your membership number.

Resources and Staff at our Parties

At all of our parties we have volunteer staff members to help you. They can be identified by their colored badges. You will find Ambassadors, who are there to socialize and welcome you; Monitors, who are there to help facilitate your play experience and handle problems; and an Event Coordinator, who is supervising the staff and entire event (see detailed descriptions below).

If you have a problem or question during an event, you are welcome to ask one of them for assistance. Please listen to our staff -- if a staff members asks you to stop an activity, do so at once. If you disagree with the request, you are welcome to talk to the Event Coordinator, but please do not argue with the staff member.

Ambassadors -- volunteers with Ambassador badges are there to welcome you. Hang out and have an easy-going chat. They enjoy answering your questions and helping you make sense of everything. Their goal is to facilitate you having a positive experience at the Center. If you're new to our community, have never been to events like ours before, or for whatever reason feel a little overwhelmed, they are there for you.

Monitors -- the volunteers with Monitor badges are there to help you. They make sure the rules are followed, but their primary role is to facilitate your play experience. Go to them if you need help finding or using a piece of equipment, if you need someone to watch things while you get water, or help clean up after a scene, or to make sure people aren't crowding your play space. Monitors handle problems and make sure you are safe. If at any time you feel someone is acting inappropriately or something bad is happening, find a Monitor and the situation will be dealt with immediately.

Event Coordinators -- at every event there is one person who is the Event Coordinator, supervising the entire event. If you have an issue with any of our staff (Ambassadors and Monitors), we ask that you raise the issue with the EC rather than directly with the staff member. If you have an issue with the EC, please contact Executive Director Allena Gabosch at director@sexpositiveculture.org.

If another attendee behaves in a manner towards you that makes you uncomfortable, or is a blatant breach of our etiquette or rules, we ask that you be proactive in bringing such matters up with our EC as soon as possible, ideally before you leave the event, or by the next day via direct communication with Executive Director Allena Gabosch at director@sexpositiveculture.org.
