We've had some success with the LGBT Alternative Community Group - the library now has a dedicated LGBT Literature collection & we've set up an LGBT Reading Group - but as you'll see from the attached poster we have a lot more projects we would like to start up so we need more participants. So if you would be interested in taking part in any of the events or would like to sign up to help set up any of the projects please get in contact - either through this blog or the sign in sheets we will be putting out at Pride.
ALTERNATIVE COMMUNITY GROUP
We lobbied for an LGBT Library Collection – and we got it!
We wanted to start an LGBT Reading Group – and we did!
Now we want to move the group up to the next level. We want to create a community group that will allow all members of the LGBT community to socialise, access information, or even get involved in projects & campaigns. To start we would like to run a series of community events, like film nights, to give everyone an alternative way to connect with the LGBT Community & make it accessible to all. Eventually, if we get enough support from the community, the council & existing LGBT groups we’re hoping to be able to set up a designated Rainbow Room somewhere in town giving us somewhere to meet other than a pub or club, BUT we need your help to do it!
If you would be interested in any of our proposed events, or if you would like to suggest any others or lend a hand setting them up, please get in contact via our blog: http://lgbtinlibraries.blogspot.co.uk/ or you can find a sign up sheet on the Pride HQ stall.
