Charlotte Mecklenburg library released a statement back in June standing against systematic racism. Making good on their promise, they've launched one small piece of a much larger equity strategy, called the Black Lives Matter Program. This initiative aims to provide information and resources to educate the community on topics centered around social justice and racial equity while featuring Black stories.
Each month, the library will feature a different Black author to examine their works through learning circles, book talks, and discussion groups. The Social Justice Book Club meets the Third Thursday of every month at 6:30 p.m on Zoom.
