What is the GLBTRT?
| The GLBTRT is a unit of the American Library Association. The GLBTRT was founded in 1970 as the Task Force on Gay Liberation. We are the nation's first gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender professional organization. |
| Each year, we present the Stonewall Book Awards (one for literature, one for non-fiction) to the best books with gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered themes. We are raising funds in order to make the Stonewall Book Awards self-supporting.Donationsare welcome and encouraged. Checks may be sent to the ALA/Development Office, 50 E. Huron Street, Chicago, IL 60611, made out to ALA, or you may charge your gift to your credit card. Note clearly that your donation is to the GLBTRT. More information may be found on the "making donations" page. |
| We present programs at ALA's annual conference. Recent topics have included the future of gay books for children, collection development, and mainstreaming gay publishing. We publish a quarterly newsletter. We hold social hours at ALA Midwinter Meetings and Annual Conferences. |
