According to the 2017 GLSEN Connecticut School Climate survey, just over half of Connecticut students say they have access to LGBTQ-related library resources at school.
Just 25% of Connecticut students say they were taught positive representations of LGBTQ people, history, or events at school. A collection of texts that positively represent LGBTQ+ characters and historical figures is critical for any school to be an inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ students and those with LGBTQ+ family members.
As of 2021, over 240 Connecticut Schools & Libraries have Rainbow Libraries, impacting an estimated 155,000 young readers
67% of recipient schools and libraries purchased more LGBTQ+ affirming books because of
the Rainbow Library.
