Starting this 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. 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 and check-out! We also have a smaller display across from the Reference Desk next to the print station. Below are some additional resources.
