Happy Pride Month! International Day of Family Remittances, sending money to help out families, biological or chosen, is a day to remember the millions of people traveling far from home to improve their and their families' lives. Consider using the Mango and Transparent Language Apps to help with language learning!

Join us on June 16th at 7pm for Q***r Tales Book Club! This month we'll be discussing "We Had to Remove This Post" by Hanna Bervoets which is available in book or eBook form.

A "tight, propulsive, chilling novel by a rising international star about a group of young colleagues working as social media content monitors—reviewers of violent or illegal videos for an unnamed megacorporation—who convince themselves they’re in control . . . until the violence strikes closer to home."

Check it out at tadl.org or go to Hoopla, one of our digital eBook resources. Haven't read the book? You are still welcome to take part in the discussion and community!

Join us for an outrageous-cretaceous summer of fun! Print and hang this on your fridge so you don't miss any of the events!

Mental health matters! Break the stigma by learning to understand your issues, promoting self care, and finding support sytems. TADL has many resources available for folks to get educated and get the help they need.

This includes:

Doing a "men's mental health" search at tadl.org for helpful material on the subject; Looking into one of our many enriching programs on our events page; Checking out the "Health and Wellness" section of our Digital Resources; Getting a copy of our local Community Resources booklet; or Visiting the Reference Desk to get help finding any other useful resources.

We've got your back at TADL!
