Pride Month
Celebrate Pride at the library! Make some colourful art, enjoy a Pride-themed storytime, or attend a writing workshop inspired by queer people from history. Pride Month is dedicated to celebrating identity and inclusion with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Our annual Pride celebration is one of many ways we foster inclusion and diversity at the library. Come out and see us at the Queen City Pride Parade and Out in the Park on Saturday, June 13.
