Pride month displays, programming, and materials with LGBTQ content have been heavily targeted by groups attempting to dismantle, deface, or completely remove them. Librarians and library workers in academic and special libraries, or those who identify as LGBTQ, have also faced challenges in their workplace. In this webinar, ALA OIF and Freedom to Read Foundation staff will share experiences and strategies supporting LGBTQ materials, programs, and displays for pride month and beyond.
