Originally started as a week of recognition centering on the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln (February 12) and Frederick Douglass (February 14), over time the concept has expanded to encompass all of February as Black History Month. Officially celebrated in the United States since 1976, this is the perfect time to learn about, reflect upon, and honor the stories of black America and how those stories have helped to shape the course of history and culture. On our Resource Center you can find assets your library can use through the month of February, which will point your patrons to our curated collections of audiobooks (for kids and adults), eBooks (for kids and adults), comics and graphic novels, videos, and music perfect for Black History Month.
