Starting next week, the Library will be featuring in its Contemporary Reading Shelves, National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered (LGBT) History month, which is celebrated every October in the United States. We feature books that tell the history and biographies of key individuals, including those who have fought for LGBT rights to the present.
Books by prominent authors such as David Leavitt, Adrienne Rich, Alice Walker, and Tony Kushner will be featured, and available for checkout.
Meanwhile, out of spirit of National Coming Out Day, which occurs on October 11, but the college is honoring it today (October 9) , we have a display already featured on one of the new books shelves, next to the reference desk. Please take a look!
The Contemporary Reading Shelves are located behind the main desk of the Library. Walk behind the desk to scope the shelves of books to browse. If you are looking for a key LGBT book in the collection, and are unable to find one, be sure to also look at these shelves, or ask assistance from our friendly librarians.
(Note: Our current Contemporary Reading Shelves collection, which honors National Hispanic Heritage month (which is actually celebrated from September 15 to October 15) will be concluding this Friday).
