South Plains Leatherfest is thrilled to welcome the Crossroads Annex of the Carter Johnson Library and Collection to SPLF 2025! The Carter/Johnson Library & Collection is a collective history of various communities who have chosen to live and love differently. As the only library of its kind, it is our mission to create an interactive relationship with the stories from the past and the present and link them to future generations. The Library collection includes thousands of leather, fetish, S/m, kink and alternate sexuality books, magazines, posters, art, newspapers, ephemera and memorabilia dating back to the 1700’s. The Carter/Johnson Library is designed to put people in touch with their history by allowing them to hold it, read it, smell it and know it.
At South Plains Leatherfest, we believe in recognizing the Artists, Activists and Authors in our community and giving them a space to meet our attendees and share their work. We are also committed to giving members of our community a place to share their voice and message. Stop by throughout the event on the 2nd floor overlook and learn about the passion of others!
