Story Time with Que(e)ry Librarians

Join the Que(e)ry Librarians for Story Time at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division

Que(e)ry’s goals are:

  • to provide a safe and fun social space and to encourage community among queer information professionals and their friends and allies;
  • to raise financial support and awareness for queer libraries, archives and museums;
  • to celebrate and encourage diverse representations and contributions of queer people in the cultural record and in the information professions;
  • to demystify and challenge stereotypes about libraries and librarians;
  • to demonstrate the relevance and accessibility of library collections and services to queer communities;
  • to highlight information philosophy and policy issues affecting queer communities and collections, such as censorship, bias, terminology, equal access, freedom of expression, obscenity, and privacy.
