Celebrate Black History Month with our Little Free Library
Feb 1 / News
February is Black History Month, and we’re stocking our Little Free Library with books by Black authors. Connect, explore and learn by picking up a new book, or contribute a new one for our community to enjoy. There are so many beautiful stories told by Black authors, and the below list of books is just a starting point. Feel free to drop us a line here with your favorite book. We will continue to add community suggestions and favorites to this list. Take one home and your kiddos can naturally reflect on the concept of diversity in a fun and engaging way.
