Lobo Library News
January Edition
PRIDE Month @chsLOBOlibrary
LGBTQ YA Novels in your school library!
It's the end of the rainbow and you will find yourself at the Chavez Lobo Library promoting LGBTQ Pride. Pride month is officially celebrated during the month of June, but in the land of the Lobos, we celebrate Pride in January. Pride is the "positive stance against discrimination and violence toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people to promote their self-affirmation, dignity, equality rights, increase their visibility as a social group, build community, and celebrate sexual diversity and gender noncomformity" (Wikipedia, 2019). Below is a list of books currently in our library ready for you to check out:
Speak No Evil, a novel by Uzodonma Iweala.
