During Black History Month, the Library District celebrates Black stories and voices—past, present, and future.
Black history is made up of many stories, not just one. These stories show strength, creativity, joy, and hope. Libraries help keep these stories safe and make them easy to share and discover.
Join us as we honor Black authors and storytellers and recognize the power of stories to help us learn, understand one another, and build community—not just this month, but all year long.
