International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) on Friday May 17th is a time to stand in support of the LGBTIQ community.
The Library is proud to support the LGBTIQ community by championing inclusion and providing a safe space for all, regardless of their sexuality and gender identity.
We further celebrate IDAHOBIT by creating displays of resources in the field of LGBTIQ literature and sexual and gender diversity, on our digital screens. At some of our libraries (Law, Peninsula and Matheson) there are a display of print items as well.
