In honor of Pride, Avondale Library’s Adult Department is hosting a five-week online interview series that will be posted every week to the library’s Facebook page in the month of June. Hosted by librarian Joan Inman, the series highlights LGBTQ individuals who are working within Birmingham non-profit sectors such as Magic City Acceptance Center and AIDS Alabama, and includes their personal takes on the importance of celebrating Pride, preserving history, and the integral role that libraries continue to play through their community partnerships by providing access to information for all.

Avondale Library's online book club selection for June, Beyond the Pages Online Book Club: The Before Now and After Then by Peter Mon, was chosen in conjunction with the series and will meet via the Zoom app on June 31 at 7:00 p.m. Register through BPL's events calendar.
