Pride is this Saturday, June 6! And we'll be there Pride is this Saturday, June 6! And we'll be there! We won't be in the parade (although lots of library friends of all kinds will be marching with @pflag_fresno), but you can find us at the festival from 11 to 4 at Fresno City College!

We'll be joined by @womxn2womxn for a DIY bookmark printing craft, so make sure to stop by! We'll also have Friends of the Library membership brochures, library card applications, information on library resources, Summer At Your Library calendars with programs for all ages, and stickers!

This photo is from an older event, so expect a new tablecloth and pop-up tent, but you can find us near the Children's Area!
