At the end of Pride month, remember that this is the time to shine a light on LGBTQ+ people, issues, and topics, but it's not the only time of year to keep these things in mind.

Here are a few options to celebrate Pride all year.

Need a book to read on the beach, lakeshore, or patio? We've got you covered! 😎🌊

Check out our OverDrive collection for Pride Month! These titles explore issues in the LGBTQIA+ community, include representation of q***r characters, or are written by q***r authors, but the common thread among them is they’re all stories you’ll carry with you.

Read or listen to these powerful voices and stories and borrow them through the Libby App from the library this June and beyond. Visit https://tinyurl.com/2jv79j2z.

The easiest way to find books with LGBTQ+ characters and themes, by and about Q***r people, is to browse the library's collection of Q***r Books Featured Titles.

Find this and many other featured title collections on the library's website: https://tinyurl.com/y24saa6r

At the library, we strive to be a welcoming place for everyone because libraries truly are for everyone.

Many library employees have participated in Safe Zone training through the MSUM Women's Center and display this on office doors or pinned to cubicle walls.

While bathrooms on all four floors of the library are gendered, library patrons are welcome to use the one that best matches their gender identity. In compliance with Minnesota law, all campus bathrooms have free menstrual care products available.

The world is ever-changing, but libraries will always be for everyone.
