We all know what bullying is and how detrimental it can be. Whether it’s on the school bus, in gym class, on social media, or even at your workplace water cooler – it’s never been more toxic or pervasive. Our online and interconnected world can make it hard for children and teens to find safe havens or the courage to speak up and speak out. Knowing how to start those conversations or where to turn isn’t always easy. That’s why the Library has several resources for children, teens, and parents to help prevent, or stop bullying:
Are you struggling now that a child, parent, coworker, or close friend has come out to you as LGBTQ+? Want to know how to talk to your children about tolerance and acceptance? Do you just want the ABC's of LGBT? The Library’s collection contains biographies, resources, tips for families, and LGBTQ+ history that can help.
October is LGBTQ+ History Month, which celebrates the achievements and contributions of exemplary lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and other queer-identified role models throughout history. Like other celebration months, it is also an opportunity to highlight historic and current issues facing the community, celebrate milestones, and educate or welcome others who would become allies. Learn more with this collection of biographies and other non-fiction titles form your library.
Need new books for the kids? Get your library card ready because it is time to stock up! Here are just a few new releases coming to the library this month. Put these books (and more) on hold and then stop in your local library branch or you can use our curbside service to pick them up!
