Pima County Public Library's GLBT Services Committee

The GLBT Services Committee was established in 1997 to better serve southern Arizona's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender library users.

It seeks to fulfill this mission by creating exciting programs such as GLBT author visits, and through participation at various outreach events such as Pride in the Desert.

On a daily basis we review, order and make GLBT materials available for all PCPL users, regardless of age, location or sexual orientation. The (PCPL) Pima County Public Library's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Services Committee is dedicated to upholding the library's Mission Statement as well as the Library Users Bill of Rights for all of our customers.

PCPL is one of the few public libraries in the country to have an established Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Services Committee. In fact, Tucson was the first municipality in Arizona to adopt a non-discrimination ordinance regarding sexual orientation in 1977.
