Les bibliothèques se préparent pour le Mois des fiertés dans un contexte de multiplication des contestations de livres

Aux États-Unis, les bibliothèques se préparent pour le Mois des fiertés en juin avec des expositions et des programmes axés sur les livres et l'histoire LGBTQ+.

À moins d'un mois du début des célébrations, les employés des bibliothèques sont invités à planifier des expositions, à assurer le suivi des ouvrages et à dialoguer avec les usagers sur la liberté intellectuelle. Ces recommandations interviennent alors que les inquiétudes grandissent concernant des textes législatifs comme la résolution 7661 de la Chambre des représentants, qui interdirait certains contenus dans les écoles financées par le gouvernement fédéral.
