Libraries must actively affirm and support the safety and rights of transgender people (ALA Rainbow Roundtable). We do this though the creation and maintenance of safe and welcoming spaces, collections, and programs. In today’s world, the rights and protections of members of the transgender community are threatened by anti-trans legislation, and trans community members continue to face high rates of violence. How can libraries of all types provide a trans-inclusive respite both trans community members, and members of their own staff?
