We are proud to uplift q***r voices, trans voices, and continue to keep books on the shelves that represent.
It was humbling to march in Middletown PrideFest 2023 to uplift everyone in our community.

Join us today Middletown PrideFest 2023 for our Middletown Strong Podcast!
We will be recording live, at Noon with Mary Richardson and Olivia Scully!

This year, we are on the Main Street Stage located on Spear Park (corner of William and Main St)!

This will be a conversation about challenged/banned LGBTQIA+ books libraries, and how people can support public libraries, and school libraries in their Connecticut Community.

We will have a pledge that people can take, right at Pride, saying they will add their support!
