Toolkit: Building and Maintaining LGBTQ+ Picture Book Collections

The LGBTQ+ community has had to continuously fight for their rights, including their right to be represented in the library. This toolkit provides instruction on how to develop and manage a library collection of LGBTQ+ children’s picture books. It is split into four sections that include a guide to evaluating materials, recommended picture books, a guide to fighting censorship, and a list of recommended resources. This toolkit was presented at the 2019 Alberta Library Conference as part of the award winning session "Is Tango All We Get? Evaluating LGBTQ+ children’s picture books in library collections".
