 Library
Appears in Wednesday Journal
The local Wednesday Journal
newspaper covered the Oak Park Public Library's Transgender
Resource Collection in an article that appeared in the June
2009 Pride insert. The article, by Nicholas Moroni, reports
on our pioneering efforts to build a collection that will serve
and reflect people who are transgender, as well as the friends,
family members, employers, and service providers of transgender
people. Read
the Wednesday Journal article (PDF file).
*Funding for this grant was awarded by the Illinois State Library
(ISL), a Division of the Office of Secretary of State, using
funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services
(IMLS), under the federal Library Services and Technology Act
(LSTA).
