Pride is a celebration of LGBTQ+ history, love and culture. But most importantly, Pride is a celebration of the PEOPLE who have made and still make this community vibrant. This June, join the Lynnfield Library in our celebration of the people who make the world a more vibrant place. We’ve put together a list of memoirs and other non-fiction books to help celebrate Pride.
