KHTS Radio Santa Clarita Radio – Santa Clarita News
The Santa Clarita Public Library, PFLAG SCV and the local chapter of the Boston Scientific PRIDE employee resource group are coming together once again to deliver LGBTQ+ friendly books to youth and families in the community.
PFLAG SCV and Boston Scientific PRIDE representatives will deliver a total of 117 books to the Old Town Newhall Library, to be evenly distributed amongst each library branch for residents to enjoy.
In June 2020, PFLAG SCV and the Boston Scientific PRIDE employee resource group generously held a joint book drive that resulted in the donation of 117 books, including three copies of 13 different titles for each Santa Clarita library branch.
The donated books are LGBTQ+ themed and approved by the American Library Association. They include a range of titles from board books to picture books and chapter books designed for toddlers, elementary and middle school students.
“The delivery of these new books greatly benefits the Santa Clarita Public Library and the Santa Clarita community as a whole. Those who identify as LGBTQ+, or have relatives that do, will now have increased opportunities to see themselves represented in the books they check out locally,” said Shannon Vonnegut, City Librarian.
The Santa Clarita Public Library is grateful for the efforts of PFLAG SCV and Boston Scientific’s PRIDE employee resource group in organizing the local book drive and delivery benefitting our library branches.
To learn more about the upcoming LGBTQ+ book delivery, contact Shannon Vonnegut, City Librarian, at svonnegut@santa-clarita.com or Peggy Stabile, PFLAG SCV Vice-President, at 661-993-1881.

Having the Santa Clarita libraries open their shelves to age-appropriate LGBTQ# themed books is a boon to the entire community. Not only will families with LGBTQ+ members have the opportunity to see themselves reflected in the books they check out, but those community members unfamiliar with their LGBTQ+ neighbors will have the opportunity to educate themselves about the issues and challenges they face.
Thank you! The more books, education and information available for our community, the better we will all be.
…….you know, if we’re not careful, we’re going to cater to every protest group imaginable and forget to take care of the majority, regular, non-issue kind of people because these people want to separate everyone and be all-inclusive and forget about everyone else. Now THATS SAD!!!!
Oh great—-More subtle brainwashing of the youth!! “I’m OK, you’re OK”. “Everything is right, nothings wrong”. Worked well in Germany, “The Hitler Youth”. At least it’s not physical violence, but is, subtle psychological violence! Brainwashing is psychological violence—-
Yeah, another GREAT IDEA! ?
Only thing I can be thankful about is that I’m getting on in years, and there’s more years in back of me than in front of me! I mean, this country is going DOWN! Glad I won’t have to live to see what all this sh*t comes down to. Who could be proud of it?! It’s so sad to see. But, in the end, like they say, “ better them than me”! You made your bed, now sleep in it! It’s YOUR problem! ?
