March 31st is International Transgender Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

Today is about celebrating trans lives, honoring history, and recognizing the incredible diversity of human experience across time.

If you’re looking to learn more, check out the graphic novel Trans History. It brings the past to life through illustrated stories of remarkable figures—from the Roman emperor Elagabalus to the 17th-century conquistador Antonio de Erauso, and Stonewall veterans Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.

Visibility matters. History matters. People matter.

When the library director is on vacation… we get creative 😄

Introducing our latest totally real bestseller: “Beyond Bratwurst: The Marcus Richter Story” — a tale of leadership, legend, and (probably) snacks.

Inspired by the actual book “Beyond Bratwurst: A History of Food in Germany” by Ursula Heinzelmann.
