Chicago Public Library is thrilled to celebrate LGBTQIA+ Pride Month and invites you to join us all month! Every year in June we host events, share book recommendations, organize displays and more to honor all aspects of queer life, history and culture. Be a part of this Pride Month by attending a Drag Story Time, watching an LGBTQIA+ movie screening or picking up one of the beautiful coloring pages available at every branch. Chicago Public Library is honored to serve the wonderful community of queer Chicagoans, along with their allies, friends, and families.
