Recent Arrivals for LGBTQIA+ Pride Month 2023
Celebrate Pride Month with these books acquired for our collection over the past year, including a strong selection of books for children and young adults.
For more reading on these subjects, be sure to check previous years' lists: 2022, 2021 (a long list, with a looser definition of "recent"); and in 2019, on the fiftieth anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, Library staff recommended favorite books in our collection on gay culture, life, and history in New York City.
