I am forever an ally for the LGBTQI community. Last year at the branch I made a teen focused display in their section, an adult (fiction and non-fiction) book display right when you walked into the branch and a few small pop-ups in the children's section.
The teen display of course had books and DVDs, but I also included some resource pages and events for the summer that supported teen LGBTIQI in the area. One of the colleges I worked at held a "gay" prom for youth up to 19 years old and I was pleased to see there were activities for teens in all of the surrounding bay area.
I also put up a bunch of rainbow and trans flags (I like flags). They were all taken.
At my new job, I volunteered to make a display...in a case.
Since it is the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, I decided to make a display that not only had some books about it, but also images and some history. Since I got the whole display case, I transitioned them into more of a PRIDE theme.
I am pleased with it.
