Celebrate Pride At Palo Alto City Library
'Join us throughout June as we stand with our community to celebrate equality, love, acceptance, and all things Pride.'
May 26, 2021
Join us throughout June as we stand with our community to celebrate equality, love, acceptance, and all things Pride. Commemorating the anniversary of New York City’s Stonewall Riots, communities around the world now gather every June to demonstrate support of the LGBTQ+ community. Though we may be unable to step out in style to walk a parade route this year, Library staff have found plenty of ways to celebrate at home all month long.
