As the air starts to chill and the semester winds down, November is a great time to cozy up with a new book. We’re highlighting tons of fun reads, as well as plenty of opportunities to learn and unwind.

Join us in observing Transgender Awareness Week, from November 13th to 19th, with a special display highlighting books, eBooks, and resources that celebrate transgender voices and stories. This week of reflection and learning leads into Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20th, a day to honor those we’ve lost and renew our commitment to ending hate-fueled violence. Stop by to explore and borrow materials that uplift the transgender and gender non-conforming communities at WIT and beyond.
