Black History Month at the Library

Celebrate Black History Month with NCW Libraries in February. Explore books, movies, music, documentaries and more by Black authors, illustrators, filmmakers and musicians in the library district’s physical and digital collections. 

Black History Month  is a national celebration in partnership with the Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment of the Humanities, and other institutions and organizations to honor Black voices, stories, experiences, and contributions.

NCW Libraries is hosting a Black History Month reading challenge on the Beanstack app. 

Many of the library district’s 30 branch libraries in Chelan, Douglas, Grant, Okanogan and Ferry counties have put up displays of books, movies, and materials by Black authors and creators. In addition, library staff have curated lists of suggested reading for children, young adults and adults. 

Anyone with a library card can stream movies and documentaries online through Kanopy; read, watch movies and listen to music on Hoopla; and read or listen to books on Overdrive through the Libby app. All three services are free.
