The Cobb County Public Library compiled a reading list in celebration of LGBTQ Pride Month, observed during the month of June.

Here is the introduction and the list, reprinted from the Cobb library website:

June is Pride Month! Show your support with these books that celebrate diversity, community, inclusivity, and understanding!

LGBTQ Pride Month recognizes the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally and is held each June in honor of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising. Visit loc.gov/lgbt-pride-month/about to learn more.
