Calling All Gender-Sexuality Alliance (GSA) Advisors
Do you or someone you know run a GSA (SAGA, Prism, Spectrum, or other) club? Community Librarians Erin and Meagan have been working with local middle and high school GSA clubs to learn more about how we can support LGBTQIA+ students. They would love to visit your club this year to hear more from students and share great new book recommendations and free library swag. If your students are interested, they can also host Prism or Reading Rainbow book clubs during your meetings too.
Middle school advisors can reach Erin here.
