LGBT & Public Library Services

This report investigates attitudes of professionals who are responsible for the public library services that address the needs and desires of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community. Also, this report identifies factors that are associated with successful public library programs that assist this group of customers. These customers, who are rather community-minded and often viewed as high achievers, work in almost every discipline possible, including the natural sciences, athletics, Fine and Lively Arts, technology, and serve as entrepreneurs as they continue to add to the wide body of knowledge.
