Possibly my favorite summation of Pride

The reason I'm helping to build the @qtlibrary.org is that I fully believe that LGBTQIA+ books can change the world for somebody. Representation is so important to understanding that you are perfect the way you are and belong. This is disgusting. These poor kids.

3 days left in our annual fundraiser! Let’s close this out strong. 🌈📚 We want to make it easier for everyone in the U.S. to access queer stories. You can help us make that happen 💕 Spread the word about QLL or donate here: givebutter.com/Jr8Tfu

We read books by LGBTQ+ authors before. We will read books by LGBTQ+ authors now. We will read books by LGBTQ+ authors tomorrow. Literature is for and by everyone.

See you today, ALA! I’m at the Books Unbanned booth giving away swag and talking about the Brooklyn Public Library’s program. You can catch me on two panels: one at 1 pm (where you can get a print toolkit!) and one at 230 pm.
