June is LGBTQ month. The Middlebury Library has a dedicated LGBTQ+ Research Guide to get you started.  Want to watch a film?  Kanopy, our streaming service, has highlighted 20+ LGBTQ videos to celebrate Pride month. In addition, the Library of Congress has a resource page featuring a LGBTQ+ Studies Research Guide and many other primary source and media collections that document the history and accomplishments of individuals that identify with or are a part of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer movement. Take time this month to explore the wealth of resources available from our collections or at your fingertips online.
