Great news – we were successful in gaining our LGBT Youth Scotland Silver award!

It’s been a real pleasure to be part of the LGBT Champions Group and to work with our wonderful LGBT Pupil Group. We still have lots of work to do in the library but some highlights so far have been:

Participatory Budgeting sessions – lots of new LGBTQI+ books added to our growing collection

Lunchtime library meetings with the LGBT pupil group

Author event with Michael Lee Richardson – and creating a beautiful Pride poem

Creating displays to celebrate various LGBTQI+ events and decorating the library with relevant posters

LGBT Pupil group deciding on how to present the collection

Ongoing:

Creating an LGBTQI+ directory, packed full of information and booklists

A full audit of our LGBTQI+ collection including information on representation
