My favorite book store for sure, I always love to go and peruse the zine library even if I don't have a lot to spend, I can usually get some local zines for $10 or less. Plus the super cute shop cat is an absolute treasure. The decor and atmosphere are just so cozy and beautifully currated I wish I could spend the whole day in there!

Stumbling into Barrio Logan and checking out this book store was one of my favorite experiences in San Diego. I loved everything about this shop and can’t thank you enough for these great pics of me playing your piano. When you are away from your instruments, it means a lot when others encourage you to sit and enjoy theirs. I appreciated that but also ALL the AMAZING books, magazines, pamphlets, topics, trinkets, and support coming from Libélula. I got this awesome handmade book cover and seriously can’t wait to go back. Thanks also for telling me about Chicano Park. It was incredible and I spent a lot of time embracing and enjoying the art and culture. Thank you so much! A must visit shop, not just for book lovers but for absolutely anyone.

My wife and I came to this place on our 2 year wedding anniversary! Yay LGBT love! This bookstore is soooooo cute. All of the books here are about gender identity or sexuality in regards to LGBT+ folks. There are also books on racial matters and Latino culture. They also sell pins, stickers, shirts, "homies" toys, kids books, so many beautiful things. There is a resident cat who lives here and sleeps on the chairs, which is cute, and you might get a few pets in. I highly, highly recommend visiting this place and supporting a local business!
