The Deskset is renowned for throwing library themed parties that benefit literacy and libraries. From libraries in New Orleans to Books through Bars, Deskset has raised thousands of dollars for organizations across the
country.

Who We Are: Que(e)ry began in 2010 as a subgroup of The Desk Set, an informal group of librarians, archivists, library science students and other individuals who love books and occasionally throw fund-raising parties for non-profit organizations whose missions support literacy and culture.

Que(e)ry was developed by Desk Set members as a safe space for everyone; Que(e)ry aims to promote awareness for non-profit organizations that have established libraries and archives that advocate for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and two spirit (GLBTIQTS) rights and heritage.

Que(e)ry has held three successful parties to benefit organizations like the LGBT Community Center Library, the Lesbian Herstory Archives, Tom of Finland Foundation, the Leather Archives and Museum, and the Transgender Foundation of America Archives.

If she were to pick one word to sum this genre up it would be: post-discoclashdubstepelectrofreakpunkwave.
