National Suicide Prevention Week

September 11–17 is National Suicide Prevention Week, a good time for conversations about mental health with loved ones. Reading about another person’s experience with anxiety or depression—two issues facing many of today’s youth—can be incredibly empowering as they learn to deal with life's problems, and remind them they're not alone.

Pride Month

LGBT Pride Month has been nationally recognized in June for almost two decades, taking a positive stance against discrimination toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people to promote equal rights, increase visibility, build community, and celebrate sexual diversity and gender variance (Wikipedia).

At the library, we develop our collection and services to meet the needs of every member of our diverse community. The Children’s Area has programs for children of all ages, and books featuring characters with all types of families, abilities, and interests. These LGBT-positive picture books are appropriate for young children, but their message of being true to oneself is meaningful for readers of all ages!
