Bibliotheken bereiten sich angesichts zunehmender Buchverbote auf den Pride Month vor

US-Bibliotheken bereiten sich mit Ausstellungen und Programmen, die sich auf LGBTQ+-Literatur und -Geschichte konzentrieren, auf den Pride Month im Juni vor.

Weniger als einen Monat vor Beginn des Pride Month wird Bibliotheksmitarbeitern geraten, Ausstellungen zu planen, Bestände zu verfolgen und die Nutzer zum Thema geistige Freiheit einzubinden. Die Empfehlung kommt zu einer Zeit, in der die Sorge über Gesetzesentwürfe wie die House Resolution 7661 wächst, die bestimmte Materialien in staatlich finanzierten Schulen verbieten würde.
