Happy LGBTQ+ Pride Month! 

ACC Library Services has all the resources you need to learn more about, or celebrate Pride. To dive into the history, check out one of our databases -

LGBTQ+ Source provides scholarly and popular LGBTQ publications in full text, plus historically important primary sources, including monographs, magazines and newspapers. It also includes a specialized LGBTQ thesaurus containing thousands of terms. Prefer to celebrate with film? Our Kanopy database has a curated collection of films to celebrate Pride Month. Keep in mind that Kanopy (and not ACC) requires that you create a free account before accessing. You can find Oscar winning films like Moonlight and informational films about the Stonewall Uprising. This is a resource you definitely should check out! Looking for some books from the library? Even though our physical spaces are closed, we have tons of online ebooks in our collection for you to read. Click the orange “View Now” button to access them. You can browse this search, or check out the ebook titles listed below.

• Social Equity and LGBTQ Rights : Dismantling Discrimination and Expanding Civil Rights.
• The queer games avant-garde : how LGBTQ game makers are reimagining the medium of video games
• LGBTQ Americans in the U.S. political system : an encyclopedia of activists, voters, candidates, and officeholders
• Gender identity, sexuality and autism : voices from across the spectrum
• Intersectionality in Feminist and Queer Movements : Confronting Privileges.

There are also some organizations at ACC like LGBT eQuity that you can get involved with. If you are a faculty or staff member wanting to support the LGBTQ community, you can find out more about the ally program here.

As always, ACC libraries are here to help regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. We strive to support and celebrate you this month and every month. 💖💙💚💛💜
