It’s officially Rainbow Book Month here at the Westfield Athenaeum! This month, libraries nationwide celebrate authors and writing about the lives, experiences, and art of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, pansexual, genderqueer, queer, intersex, agender, and asexual (or LGBTQIAP+) community. Check out these books, e-books, and audiobooks from our collection. For more information about Rainbow Book Month, visit: https://www.ala.org/rt/rrt/rainbow-book-month
