Materials for Further Exploration

The Colby Libraries have thousands of titles by and about GLBITTQ folks, their lives and their concerns. The following is only a sampling of all that is available to you. The categories are rough and by no means inclusive, nor are these particular titles necessarily "the best." They are meant to lead you further, if you wish. Enjoy! And remember, new titles are added every day!
