U.S. state libraries as strong institutions: Supporting justice for LGBTQ+ patrons?

Abstract

AbstractOne hundred and ninety‐three countries have ratified the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development outlining 17 goals to promote prosperity of people and the planet in a peaceful and sustainable way. Despite hate crimes and marginalization around the world, LGBTQ+ communities are missing from conceptualization and description of these goals. This poster recognizes state libraries in the United States as potentially strong institutions to promote peace and justice for sexual minorities (i.e., Sustainable Development Goal 16). It presents illustrative examples from a website content analysis of four state libraries in Colorado, Maine, Oklahoma, and Texas, regions that the Human Rights Campaign has recognized as exemplar in six law and policy development areas (i.e., parenting, relationship recognition/religious refusal, hate crimes and criminal justice, youth, and health and safety). The findings—selectively described in the narrative and fully viewable through a weblink—serve as a first step towards identifying best practices that state libraries can take to better serve LGBTQ+ patrons.
