The Free Library added another new Explore topic this week, just in time for Philadelphia's Pride Parade and Festival this Sunday, June 10. The Library's GLBT Explore pages offer organized listings of useful resources for and about the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered) community, as well as a spotlight on Barbara Gittings , the civil rights activist and icon who headed the Gay and Lesbian Task Force of the American Library Association and who lived much of her adult life in Philadelphia.
