LGBTQ+ Resources

This LibGuide has been created to help users of the Carlyle Campbell Library find information about asexual people, intersex people, trans people, bisexual people, gay people, lesbian people, and other people who identify with what is sometimes called the queer community. (A number of acronyms, such as LGBTQIA and LGBT, are also used to refer to some or all of these groups.) This guide also includes some books about the broader social and political issues that involve LGBTQIA+ people, and about family diversity and gender diversity as broader topics.

This LibGuide is not a comprehensive list of all LGBTQ+ books in the library. This guide will be updated and changed when needed. You can also use the search terms in the "Search Suggestions" box below to do your own searches in the library catalog.

On each page, clicking on books or their titles will take you to their records in our library catalog. If you would like help narrowing down the list (for example, you're only interested in books with nonbinary characters, or books that make good high school read-alouds, or books with main characters of color), please contact me by email. 

If you have suggestions for books that you think would be a good addition to our collection, please contact me by email. 

Right now, we do not have one comprehensive subject term to locate all LGBTQIA+ books in the library. Here are some subject terms that will bring up some of these books (in no particular order):
