Black History Month

We celebrate Black History Month every February.  Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history.

I picked out 23 special books to share with our readers in the library and classrooms.  

You will find the You’ve Been Book’d choice board here and other resources here at my The Library Voice blog.
