June is the American Library Association‘s GLBT Book Month, which is described as “a nationwide celebration of the authors and writings that reflect the lives and experiences of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community.”
To find a diverse range of young adult fiction with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer and/or questioning characters, check out our “LGBTQ Fiction” booklist featuring a wide range hot new titles as well as YA classics. You can also find books at a younger reading level on the “LGBTQ Experience” booklist, which is featured on the “Our Diverse World” tab of our Kids Booklist page.
