- United States: Reaching out with Library Services for GLBTQ Teens Carter, Julie Childrens Literature Adolescents School Libraries Library Services Librarians Homosexuality Sexual Orientation Access to Information Video Technology Although major strides toward the inclusion of GLBT images in North American libraries have indeed been achieved, censorship is alive and well where children's literature is concerned. It is plain to see that libraries have become a major battleground for the free flow of information about and for GLBTQ children and families. This article describes a new video resource, entitled "Reaching Out: Library Services for GLBT&Q Teens," which provides a cross-sectional examination of this debate and offers techniques for librarians to "reach out" to GLBTQ audiences. The educational video, only 16 minutes in length, presents the perspectives of youth, writers, and librarians on this most important issue.
