Ask your library to carry books that deal positively with trans people
From the NCTE:
Libraries are an important source of information. Access to public libraries is free and open to everyone in the United States. According to the American Library Association, there are more than 117,000 libraries in this country, including 16,220 public libraries, and 62% of Americans have a library card. Therefore, it is important to have accurate and trans affirming books available when people seek them out. Think of the students writing research papers, the people wondering if they might be trans, and the doctors and therapists who want to learn a little more about their trans patients, just to name a few. All kinds of people go to libraries.
Help the librarians in your community or at your school include books that are useful to our community by suggesting titles or donating books. Think of books that have been especially helpful or interesting to you.
For ideas of good books, check out the Trans Academics website and click on Publications.
To find a library near you and for information on how to support your library, go to the American Library Association website.
Contact your local library and ask how you can submit a title for consideration or make a donation to the library to purchase a particular book or journal.
