LGBTQ+ History Month

In February Rhyl Library hosted a special event to celebrate LGBT+ History Month.

There were displays and stalls from local organisations, for example, North East Wales Archives talked about the LGBT+ Timeline for North Wales and Working Denbighshire promoted their services to help people get into employment and training. Other organisations included the Gay Outdoors Club, British Transport Police, Making Sense and the Unique Transgender Network.

Jenny-Anne Bishop OBE gave an informative talk about the history of gender services in Wales and there was an entertaining performance about the Ladies of Llangollen through the eyes of their faithful friend and housekeeper, Mary Caryll.

Throughout the month libraries promoted the range of LGBTQ+ fiction available both in our libraries and through Borrowbox
