February was LGBT History Month. To celebrate, a display was created in the library highlighting some of the LGBT titles in our collection, as well as drawing attention to some of the famous faces from the LGBT community. The display has been so popular that I have decided to keep it until the end of term. The students have been getting involved too by suggesting more celebrities, including Dumbledore, Boy George and various YouTubers.
Recommended titles from the library collection include:
- The Color Purple – Alice Walker (Senior Fiction)
- Every Day – David Levithan
- George – Alex Gino
- Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit – Jeanette Winterson (Senior Fiction)
- How I Live Now – Meg Rosoff
- Grasshopper Jungle – Andrew Smith (Senior Fiction)
- Maurice – E. M. Forster (Senior Fiction)
- The Danish Girl – David Ebershoff (Senior Fiction)
- Starring Kitty – Keris Stainton
Let me know if there are any other LGBT titles which you might like to recommend. Remember, you can use the book request form on the library webpages.
