Worthing Library celebrates LGBT History Month (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) with two events in February.
This is the fifth year the library service has worked with WSCC staff group Glo-West to support the month. On Saturday, February 8, at 12.00 noon, Rainbow Chorus will give a special concert in the library. Based in Brighton and Hove, Rainbow Chorus is the South’s only LGBT choir and is now well into its second decade. The choir enjoys performing a wide range of music under the direction of Music Director Aneesa Chaudhry and aims to celebrate diversity through music.
On Thursday, February 13 at 7.00pm, alternative historian, author and performer Rose Collis gives an illustrated talk on LGBT History in Worthing and Adur. She has appeared at sell-out events at the Royal National Theatre and Brighton Festival, and presented her acclaimed cabaret, Trouser Wearing Characters, to audiences in Brighton, Shoreham and in major arts festivals in New Zealand and Australia. Her books include Death and the City (2013), The New Encyclopaedia of Brighton and Colonel Barker’s Monstrous Regiment.
Tickets costing £3 for each event are available from Worthing Library or contact any West Sussex Library via www.westsussex.gov.uk/libraries.

And look out for a special display of the best of LGBT writing at Worthing Library in February. Rainbow Reads, the WSCC list of LGBT books and DVDs, is available in Worthing and other WSCC libraries.
