Rochester Rainbow Union: Preserving a Collection and a Community (virtual) Online
*Registration is open*
Thursday, August 6, 6:00-7:00 PM
For Adults
A link to the virtual event will be emailed to registrants. Did you know that Monroe County is home to the largest circulating LGBTQ+ library in New York State? How is its history connected with the Stonewall liberation movement and the current Rochester Rainbow Union? This lively talk will fill you in about one of the most unique collections and communities in our area.
Hosted by the Rush Public Library and presented by Gerry Szymanski, the Lilac Librarian at the Rainbow Union and Senior Librarian for Reserves and Digital Services at the Sibley Music Library at the Eastman School of Music.
