LGBTQ+ Titles

This board was inspired by UW-Whitewater Chancellor Dwight Watson's article, "Guide to Selection of Queer Adolescent Literature for Language Arts Teachers and Librarians," UNIVERSITAS: ​The University of Northern Iowa Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity. 8, 2012-13, D. C. Watson, T. Lasswell, S. Logan, & Y. Hood. We will continue to add titles from the Andersen Library Curriculum Collections and other UW System libraries.
