Black History Month

February is Black History Month, and the Mercer County Library System is proud to celebrate with events honoring the heritage, culture, and achievements of Black Americans.

From discussions and author visits to creative crafts and educational programs, there’s something for everyone. Learn about historical figures like Frederick Douglass and the Tuskegee Airmen, or explore art inspired by the likes of Ashley Bryan and Alma Thomas.

Join us virtually or at your local branch to reflect, learn, and celebrate together. Registration is required for most events.
