Virtual Book Display: International Day for People of African Descent

Baltimore County Public Library’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council invites you to explore a virtual book display in recognition of the International Day for People of African Descent on August 31. This global observance celebrates the contributions of people of African descent and calls for the protection of their rights and dignity around the world. This curated collection features fiction, nonfiction, short stories, and more for children, teens, and adults. These titles celebrate and uplift the diverse histories, cultures, and voices of Africans and the global African diaspora. In Baltimore County, we are proud to honor and celebrate our African and African American communities and to share stories that reflect their experiences through the power of books. Browse the display and explore the richness of African and diasporic voices today!
