Under the Umbrella Bookstore
Shops · Salt Lake City, UT
About
Under the Umbrella Bookstore is Utah's only queer bookstore, with every item on the shelves queer in some way: the authors are LGBTQ+, the stories feature LGBTQIA+ characters, or the topics are explored through a queer lens. Even non-book items are made by queer people. The bright, organized space feels both casual and lively, drawing a crowd of 20-somethings and 30-somethings alongside locals. It's trans-friendly and mixed LGBTQ+, offering a safe space to share art, ideas, and stories.
Stock runs floor-to-ceiling with queer literature, plus you'll find clothing accessories and gifts. The vibe stays relaxed, and the store is dog friendly. Hours vary: Tuesday through Friday from noon to 8pm, with weekend hours 11am to 6pm. If you're exploring beyond the shelves, Ken Sanders Rare Books is another local independent bookstore worth a stop.
