In our collection we have many books authored by African Americans, stories that are Black-centric, as well as informative and compelling non-fiction regarding history and race. We also have many new books in our children’s collection that celebrate diversity, black visibility and racial identity.
Here are just a few examples but we have a dedicated Black History Month curated rolling cart inside the library and as always we are happy to help you find whatever you are looking for.
