🌈 Pride Month at Morris Library

This year’s Pride Month displays explore the theme Hidden Histories. Authentic Voices.

Throughout the library, you'll find books, memoirs, poetry, art, history, and biographies that highlight the lives and contributions of LGBTQ+ writers, artists, activists, and changemakers.

Pictured here is one of several featured displays highlighting writer and commentator Andrew Sullivan, paired with his memoir Virtually Normal.

From personal memoirs and rediscovered histories to contemporary voices and cultural leaders, these displays invite readers to explore stories that inform, inspire, and connect us.

📚 Stop by Morris Library throughout June to explore the full exhibit.
