A Heartfelt Tribute to Libraries

Libraries have always been sanctuaries for readers, offering a safe space to explore diverse stories. The book “Gay the Pray Away” encapsulates this sentiment beautifully. It tells the story of Valerie and her journey through self-discovery, all made possible by the books she finds in her local library. This heartfelt love letter to libraries highlights the importance of access to diverse literature.
