#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.

…and the reading is easy!

What do you read in the summer? Is summer the time for light literature? Is it your chance to catch up on unread classics and recent bestsellers? Or with more time off and longer days, is now the time you delve into chunky epics or challenging nonfiction?

No matter what Summer Reading might mean to you, you will find something to suit your taste on the current book display at the Humanities and Social Sciences Library. Up until the end of August, this display brings together literary and genre fiction as well as food writing, art books, folk tales, local lore, essay collections, travel memoirs… et oui, il y a des titres en français parmi la sélection.

This summer’s very eclectic collection has something for everyone, and will give you a glimpse of how diverse the library’s holdings are. Come by, browse, borrow, and repeat! To check out what titles we’ve put together for you, take a look at this list.
