New Redpath Book Display: LGBTQ+ History Month at McGill

#LGBTQ2IHM   #QHMMCGILL   #LGBTQ2ILIBRARY

 

For some, October might sound like Oktoberfest, autumn leaves and the beginning of a new term. But for McGill, it is the first LGBTQ2i+ History Month and the library is celebrating it.

McGill’s iteration of Canada’s national LGBT History Month includes a special focus on Two-Spirit (2) and intersex (i) folks.

For the entire month of October, the Redpath Book Display (Main Floor) will showcase materials discussing the joys and frustrations of the Gay Rights Movement as well as the complexities of identities and experiences within the community.

Come browse and borrow.

We will be restocking all month with an ongoing collection of books, so feel free to check back often for new titles!

You can also explore the display titles by looking at this list of WorldCat Discovery records. Open the record titles to read the summary descriptions of each book.

There is also a list of relevant eBooks and DVDs that can be borrowed from the HSSL Self-Serve Reserves Room.

Check out The McGill Reporter for more LGBTQ2i+ events happening across campus throughout the month.
