The Tempe Public Library has won the Phoenix Pride Community Spirit Ally Award.
The award was for the library's work “to be inclusive of all members of the community and encourage a sense of belonging for everyone,” according to a release.
Among its achievements was a connection with Brick Road Coffee to co-host a new LGBTQ+ book club, Friends of Dorothy.
The library also partnered with Equality AZ to provide space for its programming in the library, including Civic Advocacy Jam and Ask Smart People Smart Questions.
