Bilingual Library Technician Alameda County Library
In June 2022, San Lorenzo Library’s Drag Story Time, planned in honor of LGBTQ Pride Month, was disrupted by the Proud Boys, a known hate group. Unfortunately, such disruptions are increasingly common in public libraries around the country. Join us as we share our experience of that day, the impacts on our staff and community, lessons learned from this attack, and how we continue to reclaim our space for our community. We will examine and explore how this event became a catalyst for rethinking our LGBTQ-centered programming throughout our library system.
