Guide: How to find a Rainbow Resource Directory in your community

We get several requests each year requesting donated copies of Directories. Unfortunately, due to the nature of our work, most of our customers are non-profit agencies and religious organizations and therefore, we are unable to distribute free copies of the guides. However, most libraries in Southern California do have our guides available on the reference stacks for community use. This post (which will be updated every few months or so) will serve as a guide to where and how you can find these books at no cost to you. Feel free to pick up an older edition. Although some information has likely changed, most agencies are still in business. A quick search on the Web should validate any questions you may have.

If your local library has a copy of the Directories and is not listed below, please forward that information on to adriscoll [at] jamespublishing.com. Thank you!
