This week, our libraries joined in celebrating Wear It Purple Day, a national day that supports LGBTQIA+ young people and promotes safe, inclusive environments where everyone feels they belong.
The Library hosted the Rainbow Walk - organised by the Holmesglen Pride Network - which featured colourful exhibits, fun activities and free food! Our staff came together in a sea of purple - jumpers, scarves, badges, and even accessories - to show their support. We also created vibrant library displays featuring books and resources in all shades of purple.
The aim of Wear It Purple Day is to send a clear message: You have the right to be proud of who you are. And we couldn't agree more. The library isn't just a place to study - it's a space where respect, inclusivity, and connection come first.
Check out the LGBTIQA+ Resources Guide for books, research journals, magazines, videos and more that you can access as a part of the Holmesglen community.
