Library News - LibGuides at BPP University

Pride Month is here! 🎉🌈This year, we are collaborating with the BPP Students' Association to make our annual 'Read with Pride 365' Pride Month campaign bigger, bolder, and prouder than ever! As a Stonewall Diversity Champion, we are delighted to promote the inclusive values of Pride month and represent the LGBTQ+ community through our BPP Library Great Reads collections of fiction and nonfiction.

Here's a little more information courtesy of the BPP Students' Association webpage:

'[Read with Pride 365 is] a staff and student-led celebration of LGBTQIA+ literature, voices, and experiences.

We’re inviting both staff and students to share their favourite LGBTQIA+ books, poems, songs, films, and personal reflections to help build an inclusive and expressive creative community. Whether it’s a novel that moved you, a poem that inspired you, or a graphic novel that made you feel seen - we want to hear from you.

Your contributions will be featured on a dedicated Pride Month page on the Students' Association and Library [Blog] websites, alongside curated resources from the Library’s Read with Pride 365 collection. This collection includes a wide range of LGBTQ+ works -fiction, nonfiction, poetry, graphic novels, dyslexia-friendly titles, and more - all free to borrow as standard loans.

All genres are welcome, and all voices are valued. LGBTQIA+ staff and students and allies alike are encouraged to participate.'

Spread the word!

Help us spread the word! Celebrate Pride Month with your friends and loved ones, comment, share, and like our social media posts, and use the hashtag #PrideReadsBPP.
