Black History Month Read-In
The mission is simple: During February, Black History Month, borrow or download media that elevates Black voices from your local library. It's a simple way to support diversity, equity, and inclusion in your community!
February is Black History Month. You can support a diverse library collection by borrowing books about Black history and the Black experience in America or checking out books written by Black authors. The library system tracks all borrowed books – hard copies and digital – to look for trends.
Borrowing these books sends a powerful message that the public wants this kind of reading material. If a book you want to read isn’t in the collection, request it. Need ideas? No problem!
