Drawing on the Central American Immigrant Experience, for teens and adults
Solito by Javier Zamora is Multnomah County Library's Everybody Reads title for 2025. If you're interested in exploring more stories of migration, check out these graphic novels about border crossings, with a focus on the US/Mexico border. -- Dan J.
The Best of Queer Horror
Nobody does horror like us! The LGBTQIA2S+ community knows what it's like to be made to feel monstrous, which makes for some of the most compelling horror novels. This collection is primarily by queer authors, about queer characters, but I threw the original Carmilla in there too because it's a classic. There's also some nonfiction titles about queer identities and the horror genre, and a few films as well!
Picture books that break the fourth wall
Picture books with characters or the narrator who talk to and invite the reader to participate in the story.
Transgender Day of Remembrance
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is an annual observance on November 20th that memorializes people whose lives were extinguished in acts of anti-transgender violence. One way to honor those who have been killed, and prevent more violence, is by learning what it is to be trans.
