Las bibliotecas se preparan para el mes del orgullo ante el aumento de la censura de libros

Las bibliotecas de Estados Unidos se están preparando para el Mes del Orgullo en junio con exposiciones y programas centrados en libros e historia LGBTQ+.

A menos de un mes para el inicio del Orgullo, se aconseja al personal de las bibliotecas que planifiquen sus exposiciones, realicen un seguimiento de los materiales y fomenten el compromiso de los usuarios con la libertad intelectual. Esta guía surge en un momento de creciente preocupación por legislaciones como la Resolución 7661 de la Cámara de Representantes, que prohibiría ciertos materiales en las escuelas financiadas por el gobierno federal.
