Celebrate Black History Month With MCPL

Black history is American history, and it's still being written. This February, Montgomery County Public Libraries invites you to join us as we celebrate the stories, achievements, and cultural impact of Black Americans.

Throughout Black History Month, our libraries will host events that inform, inspire, and spark community conversation. From author talks, art-making and film screenings to storytelling, book discussions and local history, we'll have opportunities for all ages to gather, learn, create, and reflect.

Discover the full schedule of events and resources below, and be a part of Black History Month at MCPL.
