Falvey Library Celebrates Pride Month
Happy Pride! Falvey Memorial Library is celebrating Pride Month, and we invite you to celebrate along with us.
It is in this spirit that we encourage the community to increase awareness about LGBTQIA+ related topics, needs, and challenges.
Villanova University provides an array of resources for LGBTQIA members of our community, from VU Pride to scholarship information to Safe Zone training. We invite you to explore and discover a wealth of information there.
Similarly, in honor of Pride Month, we offer a LGBTQIA+ reading list, including a wide range of novels, poetry, non-fiction, and film. They span hundreds of years and include classics along with modern works. No list of this nature could ever be comprehensive, but we hope that this list, will serve as a starting point.
