June is Pride Month. Stop by your local branch and pick up one of our rainbow heart Pride stickers!

Pride Month celebrates the accomplishments of the LGBTQ+ community while recognizing their ongoing struggle for equal rights and acceptance. It is a way to acknowledge and honor the resilience, strength, and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community in the face of adversity.

Celebrating Pride Month is about fostering inclusivity and acceptance. By recognizing and celebrating diversity, we create a society that is more understanding and supportive of all its members. It's not about forcing personal beliefs or values on others, but rather acknowledging the unique experiences and identities of individuals who may have been marginalized in the past.

Pride Month offers an opportunity for dialogue and education. It allows for conversations and sharing of personal stories that can help bridge gaps in understanding and promote empathy. It's a chance to build bridges of empathy, as understanding and compassion are at the heart of creating a harmonious society.
