Evansville, IN, February 1, 2022 – The Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library will observe Black History Month with a series of programs and displays that explore the history of Black Americans, the advocacy led by modern Black Americans, and the central role Black Americans have played in U.S. history. 

“Black History Month is an opportunity to highlight and dive into the history and heritage of Black Americans,” said EVPL CEO-Director Scott Kinney. “We hope our programming, displays, and activities will become opportunities for learning and sparking discussions.” 

Details about programming can be found on the library’s website. 

Book Bundles themed around Black History Month will be available to reserve and pick up at any EVPL location during February. These bundles, which are curated packs of movies, books, and/or CDs, will have materials by Black creators or about Black history.
