The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Round Table (GLBTRT) is part of the American Library Association and is dedicated to serving and meeting the information needs of LGBT individuals.[1] The Round Table also serves library professionals who are LGBT. One of the core value's of the ALA is to reflect the diversity of the United States by "providing a full spectrum of resources and services to the communities [they] serve."[2]

The GLBTRT provides an online toolkit for library professionals who want to promote or display LGBT materials. The toolkit also explains how to deal with complaints from the public.[3]

Notably, the GLBTRT created the first award for GLBT books, the Stonewall Book Award, which celebrates books of exceptional merit that relate to LGBT issues.[4]
