Black History Month is a time dedicated to honoring the accomplishments of African Americans. By choosing books from diverse voices, we’ve discovered a richer world and hope to share that richness with you. There are countless books that detail the Black experience, help us better understand and navigate racism, and show us the way to be affirmatively anti-racist. We've curated a list, including books for all ages to help you get started. Not every book on this list is a call to action. Some are simply great reads. Find your next favorite author here...

Staff Favorites of 2021
Bookseller favorites...
As booksellers, we read – a lot! And even though our to-be-read stacks are often unmanageable, certain books rise to the top of the list, and stay with us long after reading them. So, before we get too far into 2022, we reflect on our staff's favorite reads of the previous year. Here you can find some exceptional bestsellers as well as some lesser-known titles, and authors that we think deserve some love. So, if you’re looking for a good recommendation, click here.
