\"\"<\/a>Join the DePaul University Library in a celebration of authors and books that reflect the lives and experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community. Rainbow Book Month<\/a> is an initiative of the American Library Association to highlight library access to the very best in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, pansexual, genderqueer, queer, intersex, agender, and asexual literature.<\/p>\n

Books by and about LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals have been targeted nationwide in book challenges, including right here in the Chicago area. In our continued commitment<\/a>\u00a0to the idea that everyone should be free to see their identities and experiences reflected in their local library, we are celebrating Rainbow Book Month this summer with a library display featuring books available to borrow from the DePaul University Library. Stop by the 1st Floor of the\u00a0John T. Richardson Library to browse the book display or find additional rainbow book titles highlighted in our Banned and Challenged Books<\/a> and\u00a0LGBTQIA+ Voices<\/a>\u00a0collections.<\/p>\n

For LGBTQIA+ themed comics, also check out the Queer Comics Database<\/a>. And the American Library Association’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender (GLBT) roundtable has compiled an\u00a0Over the Rainbow Book List<\/a> to help you find your next great read.<\/p>\n

Can’t stop by this summer? Check out some additional recently published rainbow books available from the DePaul University Library in e-book format. Happy reading!<\/p>\n
