February is Black History Month, a time to honor the incredible contributions of Black individuals to society, culture, and history. This month, we invite you to explore the powerful stories of perseverance, creativity, and change that have shaped our world. From groundbreaking achievements in the arts, science, and civil rights, to the everyday heroes who made history in their communities, these books highlight the richness of Black experiences, past and present.

Join us in reflecting on the history and celebrating the voices that continue to inspire and uplift. Whether you're discovering new authors or revisiting beloved works, we hope this display sparks curiosity, conversation, and a deeper understanding of the ongoing journey toward justice and equality.
