Boston Public Library Releases 2024 “We Are Pride” Booklist, 75 Books for Children, Teens & Adults

From the Boston Public Library:

To honor LGBTQ+ Pride Month, the Boston Public Library (BPL) is releasing its We Are Pride booklist, a booklist of recent titles about the diverse experience of the LGBTQ+ community. Observed annually in June, LGBTQ+ Pride Month honors and explores the influence and legacy of members of the LGBTQ+ community. The BPL will also observe LGBTQ+ Pride Month by hosting special events for all ages across branches and by highlighting notable items in the BPL collections.

The We Are Pride booklist, featuring selected books written either by LGBTQ+ authors or about LGBTQ+ history and culture, is compiled by staff librarians from the Brighton, Chinatown, Jamaica Plain, Lower Mills, North End, Parker Hill, and South Boston branches, along with staff from the Central Library in Copley Square. The 75 titles comprising the We Are Pride booklist highlight selections for adults, teenagers, and children by authors such as Keah Brown, Michael Denneny, Leah Johnson, Helen Elaine Lee, Elliot Page, Sonora Reyes, and Martha Shelley. Genres from this collection include fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, expressions, and poetry.

Each book on the list contains a synopsis and is accompanied by an image of the book cover as well as classification information. In addition to print books, select titles are available as eBooks or audiobooks.
