We’ve been working hard sprucing up our booklists for Black History Month! In case you weren’t already aware, the library is offering a Black History Month Reading Challenge this year, and all kinds of virtual events all month long, advertised in our special Black History Month Brochure. We have author talks, music shows, arts and crafts, storytelling and much more!

To help you find great books for kids to learn about or reflect on Black history, we’ve updated our lists to include new selections about:

Black History Biographies

Books about Race and Skin Color

Everyday Kids of Color Picture Books and Beginning Readers

 

Here’s a peek at some of the great new books listed in these booklists. Click on the pictures to be taken to a booklist with catalog links to all of these books, plus many, many more!
