Black History & Futures Month
The theme of Black History Month in Canada (2024) is Black Excellence: A Heritage to Celebrate; a Future to Build. Here at the library we are celebrating that excellence by exploring writing, movies, art, and music by black creators. Choose from great books that commemorate Canadian Black history or from works that inspire our future!
