Queer Action

This year, PCPL's Pride team is putting together a zine focusing on the theme of Queer Action! Here's our list of some books we recommend. These titles are all available from our catalog, and they follow the stories--both real and imagined--of LGBTQIA2S+ people who took action against injustice and made a lasting impact in the world.
