The Toledo Lucas County Public Library celebrates the diversity of our community and works to advance equity, access, inclusion, and belonging through our services, collections, programs, and policies.

We all look for characters whom we resonate with. It’s important to see yourself, your friends and your family represented in fiction works. Expand your world with the thrill of reading different perspectives. Here is a list of just a few of our collection of LGBTQIA+ books for teens!    

A Library card and PIN will be required to access many of the resources listed.  Need help with your card or PIN?  Contact your nearest location or call 419-259-5200. Need a new card?
