The LGBTQ Special Interest Group presents a combined session and panel discussion that showcases New York City-based libraries and archives that “think outside of the normal bounds of libraries” and have LGBTQ collections that support activism, initiate community engagement, and provide allyship in the form of programming.


It is essential that librarians keep up-to-date on activism that is taking place in libraries, archives and museums around the country. These speakers will discuss how their institutions are promoting activism and the importance of having a strong, factual voice in an era where falsehoods (“alt-facts”) are distributed by the government and other sources. Librarians who are interested in promoting LGBTQ programming and activism in their libraries or archives will find this session immensely valuable.


The panel will consist of four fifteen-minute presentations, allowing for a discussion with the audience at the end.
