The Ferguson Library

What does belonging look like in LGBTQIA+ spaces?

Join us tonight at Ferguson Library's Harry Bennett Branch for a screening of Shape: When Idolisation Leads to Exclusion. This documentary explores how dating apps, social media, and gym culture shape body image and standards of acceptance within the LGBTQIA+ community.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A with LGBTQIA+ counselor Dr. Matthew Phillips (PhD, MEd, LCSW, CST) and LGBTQIA+ health and disordered eating expert Dr. Lauren Matera (DO, MPH, FAAP).

Meet our incredible Teen Ambassadors!

These students spent the past year giving back to the Ferguson Library while balancing classes, exams, activities, and everything else that comes with being a teenager. Through their service, they helped lead programs, connect their peers with library resources, and brought their own ideas to life during events and workshops.

From coding classes to debate clubs, Dungeons & Dragons, financial literacy, and science fairs, their impact can be felt throughout the Library.

Give it up for our incredible group of teens. 👏💯
