Black History Month – new acquisitions to diversify our collection

Posted on by

As part of Black History Month, we put out a call for suggested new titles, in our effort to enrich and diversify our collection. We would like to thank you for all the wonderful suggestions. Below you can see a list of all the new titles that the Library has purchased since October 2021. The full list of titles that we have purchased under this initiative, including last year’s acquisitions, can be found on our website. Library staff have also compiled a short playlist on Box of Broadcasts to celebrate Black History Month.
