The Long Beach Public Library is committed to uplifting the contributions, history, and culture of Black Americans during Black History Month, and throughout the year. This February we're hosting book talks, special guest storytimes for children, performances, crafts, and cultural events that center the experience, history, and contributions of Black Americans. All are welcome, join us!
