Recent Changes

Dennis likes soccer and dresses. Even though his dad and his older brother probably wouldn’t approve, he buys Vogue to look at all the fashionable pictures. With the convincing of his older and cute classmate Lisa, he’ll also put on a dress and head out on the town. If he’s comfortable wearing a dress and wig, will everyone else be? Illustrations by Quentin Blake make for a great addition to this book! Click on the cover of The Boy in the Dress to see an interview with David Walliams the author!

On this introduction page, you will find information on why having an LGBTQ component to a school library collection is vital, as well as some ideas of getting started or expanding a collection. You can also have a look at our FAQ section, with possible questions that school librarians may have regarding building an LGBTQ collection.
Finally, we have compiled three lists of books and other materials that would make valuable additions to a young adult collection. In these three lists you will find annotations of recent fiction and non-fiction works that could be classified as LGBTQ, as well as links to valuable online resources.
These three lists have been compiled into a downloadable resource booklet, complete with descriptions, and can be printed and distributed. You may download the booklet by clicking the attachment below.

Although this is a term that is not without controversy among a variety of communities and individuals, it is a generally acceptable, reasonably inclusive and convenient term when discussing the books and other materials on this Wiki. Wikipedia's "LGBT" entry gives more information on the use, variance and criticism of this term.
