We are so excited to share with all our patrons some of the books we have in celebration of Pride Month! Here are some of our favorites, and there are more within our collection. Let’s celebrate this month by reading books that highlight the LGBTQIA+ community and the importance of having their stories shared and reflected in our bookshelves and our lives. All featured books are available for requests through our library catalog through the links provided below next to their titles. For more books similar to these, feel free to check out our library’s catalog on www.homewoodpubliclibrary.org. Enjoy!
