February is Black History Month! Check out some of the programs we have planned:
- Every Monday (except 2/20), kids and teens can enjoy a movie matinee celebrating great Black protagonists; we’ll be watching Into the Spider-verse, Black Panther, and the 1997 Cinderella.
- On February 13, adults can join us for an MSU Muslim Journeys scholar-led discussion of The Great Muslim American Road Trip. We will screen an episode, “A Bridge Over Troubled Waters: Tulsa to Albuquerque,” which focuses on the experiences of Black Muslim Americans.
- On February 23, kids can learn about the art and history of Gee’s Bend quilts!
- Throughout the month, teens can participate in a scavenger hunt to learn about famous figures in Black history, through their own words!
- ELPL is partnering with the East Lansing High School Black Student Union to host a natural hair care drive. Starting February 6, drop off donations of new haircare supplies at the library, and at the end of the month we’ll distribute everything to women’s shelters in the Greater Lansing area.
We’ve also got a variety of recommended reading lists and book displays prepared, so stop by the library to browse or tune in on social media for our #FridayFeaturedReading.
