Join NCW Libraries, the Library of Congress, the American Library Association, and libraries across the nation to celebrate LGBTQ Pride Month and Rainbow Book Month.
Learn more about the history of LGBTQ Pride Month through the Library of Congress.
Celebrate LGBTQ Pride Month by exploring our reading recommendations, browsing library displays, and following NCW Libraries on Facebook and Instagram. Visit your local library to find books and stories that not only represent your own experience but also the experiences and stories of others.
It’s important to have diverse characters in books because books give kids mirrors and windows. Books create empathy. If we don’t have diversity, if we’re only showing things from one perspective, how are we creating empathy? ~ Author Angie Thomas
