As Washington, D.C. prepares to host World Pride 2025 and celebrate 50 years of progress, DC Public Library embraces the powerful theme: "The Fabric of Freedom." Just as threads of diverse colors and textures create a strong and beautiful tapestry, our library weaves together a collection of stories, resources, and programs that reflect the rich cultures and identities of the LGBTQIA+ community. Discover spaces where you can learn, connect, and see yourself reflected, strengthening the fabric of our shared humanity and the ongoing fight for equality. Welcome to your library – a vital thread in the vibrant tapestry of World Pride.

Pride 2024 Reads with the Washington Mystics
This summer, DC Public Library is teaming up with the Washington Mystics to recommend great reads that you can check out with your library card! Each month we will be posting Read Feed entries that spotlight titles around a theme. June’s theme is Pride. In honor of Pride month, we have selected some amazing autobiographies and biographies for both adults and young adults that explore the lives and careers of LGBTQIA+ athletes. Check out the library’s Pride Month page to find more great reads for all ages and the Mystic's Pride page to learn more about how they are celebrating this month. Happy Reading!
