Monterey County PFLAG Lending Library
One of our most valuable resources in our PFLAG chapter is our lending library which is comprised of books and video documentaries. These great materials are available at the monthly meetings for members and visitors to check out for the month, until the following meeting, to read and study in the privacy of their homes. We are desperately searching for additions to our collection and request anyone with books and videos that might be comparable to PFLAG's mission of education, support and advocacy, to donate those valuable materials to PFLAG. The materials are cataloged and credited with the donors name.

- Berzon, Betty Ph. D. Positively Gay: New Approaches to Gay and Lesbian Life with forword by Barney Frank, US House of Representatives
