A prideful day at the Halifax Public Library

Halifax Public Library’s Spring Garden Road branch has been making a joyful and gay noise all month.

The library is playing host to an exhibit detailing the history of Halifax Pride all month long. It was commissioned as a “look back” at how a protest march in 1988 became a festival over a quarter century.

This Friday at noon, exhibit designer and GLBTQ activist Chris Aucoin will be presenting a guided talk about the exhibit.
For more info, check out the Facebook event page.
