Services
Herland Sister Resources is committed to serving our community with a variety of services. We always welcome donations of funds and volunteer time so we can continue to provide them. If you feel there is a need we can address, or have an idea for an event, let us know.
- The Herland Voice: Our monthly newsletter, the Herland Voice, keeps our community informed about pertinent issues and upcoming activities. The voice is distributed by mail and at select location in the Oklahoma City area, including our bookstore (see below).
- Bookstore and Lending Library: Our bookstore and lending library stock a substantial selection of feminist and lesbian fiction and nonfiction books. We also have a variety of music, magazines, buttons, stickers and other community-themed merchandise.

Special Projects
In addition to the numerous smaller services we offer, we’ve been known to kick it up a notch sometimes and really come up with something that deserves the name “special.”
Womyn’s Music CD: Dustbowl Lullaby, the first CD produced by Herland, features great performances by local artists. Each song was recorded especially for this CD so you can’t find them anywhere else. Click on the link above to hear song clips and find out more.
