The Library is Open, an exhibit celebrating LGBTQ Pride Month, will be on display from June 1 to June 30 on the 3rd floor of Harold Washington Library Center.

Every community defines itself through its terms, and The Library is Open offers a glimpse into the vocabulary of the LGBT community. Through a selection of 15 terms, this exhibition invites patrons to learn the lingo that many queer people use to show their pride.

The Library is Open is presented by the LGBT Committee and is one of many programs and activities open to the public.
