Librarianship Brazil originated with the first course offered by the National Library in Rio de Janeiro in 1915. Over the following decades, new courses were establishe, influenced by North American and European perspective, accompanied by debates regarding the technical and humanistic dimensions of professional training. In this context, this study aims to identify the presence of LGBTQIAPN+ themes in the curricula of Librarianship programs at five public institutions in Southern Brazil. To this end, a descriptive, qualitative documentary study was conducted through an analysis of the programs' pedagogical plans. The results indicate that only one institution offers a specific course on the subject, although the others do address aspects related to human rights, social dimensions, and ethics. The study concludes that the limited presence of gender and sexual diversity themes in the curricula reveals a gap in professional training, highlighting the need to expand discussions on this topic within Brazilian Librarianship.
