π This Pride Month, TxASL celebrates LGBTQ students, educators, librarians, authors, and advocates who help make our schools stronger and more inclusive.
School libraries are spaces where every student deserves to feel seen, valued, and represented. We remain committed to intellectual freedom, diverse collections, and ensuring every story has a place on our shelves.
