OUT Maine announces the launch of “Read the Rainbow,” a program that places LGBTQ+ inclusive books into Maine’s school libraries.

“These carefully curated book sets increase visibility, celebrate diversity and foster supportive communities,” said OUT Maine, in a news release.

For every $400 donated to the Read the Rainbow Program, OUT Maine will send a set of 20 or more books to a school library in Maine. There are four book sets available based on grade-level: K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12.

OUT Maine has an ambitious goal: to create more welcoming and affirming communities for Maine’s diverse queer youth in all of their intersectional identities by changing the very systems that serve them. For more information, visit www.outmaine.org.
