Pride Month happens every June around the world, a global celebration of the LGBTQ+ community.
While Calgary has its official Pride Week and Festival in late August/early September, many events are happening this June that will mark Pride Month in their own way.
At the AUArts Library, we like to remind keen readers that we have a wonderful collection of books – thousands, in fact – on a wide range of LGBTQ+ topics. Online, or on the shelves, we’ve got great books to choose from.
