Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

June is #RainbowBookMonth. At a time when books by & about LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC individuals are under siege & library workers are facing threats & harassment for serving these communities, celebrating LGBTQIA+ voices has never been more important. bit.ly/RainbowBookMonth
#PrideMonth
ALT This June, the American Library Association and libraries nationwide will celebrate Rainbow Book Month to highlight the authors and writings that reflect the lives and experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community. At a time when books by and about LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals are under siege and library workers are facing threats and harassment for serving these communities, Rainbow Book Month has never been more important. Libraries planning celebrations will find resources from ALA’s Rainbow Round Table to support important related celebrations and events such as book clubs, author events, and other activities that highlight LGBTQIA+ authors, books, and resources. If your library is experiencing challenges to materials and programs serving the LGBTQIA+ community, please contact the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom to report censorship and receive resources and free confidential support. Read with pride, in all of its colors. Illustration of book shelf with books of every color.

During a recent Canadian studies conference, Sunnie Souza, '23, saw that she was the only non-professor on the panel.
She also saw an opportunity to lend a unique voice to an important issue.

Not even a generation removed from slavery, Black women organized an intersectional movement for freedom, education and more. I spoke with @docmoodyturner and Dr. Sabrina Evans @DigBlk about the archive that preserves their legacy.

Recognize this photo? It might be because you picked up @blackarchivesco's new book "Black Archives: A Photographic Celebration of Black Life"! We're thrilled photos from Lower Roxbury Black History project participants were used, including Inez Irving and friends on the cover!
