LGBTQ+ Book Club
Fancy broadening your literature horizons? Want to meet more people from your community? Or just need a mental wellbeing break. If you are NHS staff member this group could be for you!
Email the the LTHT library staff to get on our mailing list:
lthstafflibraries@nhs.net
The LGBTQ+ book club is a bi-monthly book club where members vote on the most suitable time to run the online club. Usually lasting about 30-40 minutes we discuss books from a variety of different cultures and identities.
Below is a list of books for 2026:
January: Black Water Sister by Zen Cho
March: Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg
If you are stuggling to locate a copy, let us know and we can signpost you to a local public library.
The teams links will be sent out the day before the session.
So that we can make sure the reading group is a safe space to discuss issues and share ideas, we’ve drawn up the following participant agreement that we need you to read and tick as evidence of your consent before you can become a regular participant in the group.
1. Everything said in the ‘LGBTQ+’ reading group is to be kept within the group and not to be discussed outside of it.
2. Similarly, we would like to assure you that your personal membership details are safe and secure with us. However, by joining the online chat, your name will be visible to others. We would like to request that you do not disclose other participant’s details unless you have their permission to do so. You do not need to switch on your webcam to join the chat unless you want to.
3. It is important that you feel free to share your opinions in our meetings. But any behaviour considered by the facilitator(s) to be potentially abusive, discriminatory or otherwise disruptive may result in the individual’s removal from the meeting and their potential exclusion from future meetings.
Our next online meeting will be in March 2026. If you would like an invite please email lthstafflibraries@nhs.net.
