Recommended Reads — Black History Month 2023

With the start of Black History Month, MidPointe Library would like to highlight and celebrate books by Black voices and about the Black Experience. This time of learning and celebration is highlighted this month, but you can find these titles, and many others, all year round. In this vein of learning, please explore the resources MidPointe offers and be sure to join us at MidPointe’s West Chester branch on February 27th at 6:30 PM for the Live the Dream: Black History Month Presentation.
