Abstract

While the initiative to create programming oriented toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirited, and queer or questioning youth (LGBT2Q+) is forward-thinking and a much-needed development for schools and public libraries to undertake, there is still a lot of foundational work that needs to take place first that examines and fosters LGBT2Q + friendly spaces, collections, information access, and community partnerships. This column explores practices which teacher-librarians, public librarians, and library administrators can utilize while going forward with the creation of safe and inclusive spaces for LGBT2Q + youth within their libraries.
