A great place to locate something good to read is to look at lists of award-winning books. Once you identify a title you would like to read, perform a title search in the UA Libraries Catalog. If needed you can extend your search to the OhioLINK or SearchOhio catalogs.
The first and most enduring award for GLBT books is the Stonewall Book Awards, sponsored by the American Library Association's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Round Table. Since Isabel Miller's Patience and Sarah received the first award in 1971, many other books have been honored for exceptional merit relating to the gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender experience.
The Lambda Literary Awards (the “Lammys”) identify and celebrate the best lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender books of the year and affirm that LGBTQ stories are part of the literature of the world.
Search the UA Libraries Catalog using any of these strategies to locate LGBTQ+ titles at Wayne College or other UA Libraries.
