LGBTQ+ History Month

Our first-floor display features books and films with LGBTQ+ themes, subjects, and content, such as resources for the transgender community, history of LGBTQ social movements, and cultural examinations of LGBTQ+ Black and Latinx populations. Studies of media depictions, personal coming out stories, and cultural revolutions – all are here. 

The Library display will be up for the month of October. All items are available for checkout.
