The book list below is the current book donation set for Open Books. If you are a school or a school district, you would want to contact Open Books because it is quite possible you could get all of these books for your elementary school libraries.
Actor/Co-founder of Open Books Morgan Walsh was interviewed for our Book Flood Podcast.
Golden Libraries provides this list solely for readers who want a vetted list of LGBTQ+ from which to choose. If you are a school looking for a donation, contact Open Books.
