In 2017, Indy Pride entered into a partnership with The Indianapolis Public Library to receive most of the book and video materials, curate. The now-named Chris Gonzalez Collection is housed at Central Library, with extra copies of items floating throughout the system. Items that are a part of the Collection have an identifying bookplate inside. View the Chris Gonzalez Collection in our online catalog.
The Indianapolis Public Library strives to serve everyone in Marion County. Since 2018, we have been working diligently on improving our collections at a higher level of inclusiveness for people of color, women, non-binary, transgender, and lesbian/bisexual/queer/+ authors, as well as people at the intersections of these identities and adding programs specifically to include and support the LGBTQ+ community and to educate the community at large about LGBTQ+ issues.
If you need help finding books by LGBTQ+ authors, we can help! Browse our convenient clickable list of LGBTQ+ authors linked directly to our catalog for placing requests or checking out e-books and audiobooks.
