Black History Month at the Library

February is Black History Month; a time to honor and celebrate the culture, contributions, and legacies of Black Canadians and others around the globe.

In support of this year’s theme “Black Resistance,” the Library would like to share some resources to guide the college community in finding out more about the achievements made and adversities faced by Black individuals over the course of history.

We have a selection of books on display at the Ottawa Library (Collection Room II) in honor of Black History Month. We encourage all to drop-by and discover a variety of novels featuring prominent Black authors, non-fiction narratives that foster allyship, award-winning children’s books, and more.

Below is a list of what you can find on display in the Library throughout February:
