Pride

Happy Pride, SXU! We celebrate Pride in June to honor the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York.

Celebrate Pride with these amazing books, films, documentaries, and more! (We've got scholarly books to picture books, and everything in between!) Best of all, these are only a few of the resources available to you, both here at your library and out in the world.

Curious about the Pride 2019 display here at the Stump Library? Check out our booklist!
