Project poster

This project was conducted to evaluate the availability of library programming and services for LGBTQ+ teenagers, children, and their families. Using a Google survey, we collected 106 responses from across the US and Canada. While most libraries did not offer LGBTQ+ programming, among the ones that did we found a diverse range of offerings. Many libraries partnered with local organizations to facilitate events. This project was undertaken in partnership with KCLS to help shape the library's ongoing role in creating an inclusive community
