This month we shine a light on the LGBTQ+ community for our virtual Community Night Spotlight event. Scroll down to check out our line-up of partners!

Tatiana Cholula
Mission statement
I love performing Drag Queen Storytime because it’s a fun and meaningful program celebrating diversity in how children may dress and act. It encourages children to look beyond gender stereotypes and embrace unfettered exploration of self. Programs like this help promote acceptance of difference and help to prevent bullying while providing an enjoyable literary experience.
