To celebrate Black History Month this year, our librarians have curated displays in both St Andrew's and St Michael's Library which have proved to be very popular!
Non-fiction books here include:
- I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
- Black and British: A Forgotten History by David Olusoga
- Rosa Parks: The Life of a Civil Rights Heroine by Rob Shone
- The Extraordinary Life of Michelle Obama by Sheila Kanani and Sarah Walsh
- Roots by Alex Haley
- Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad by Ann Petry
We've also included a selection of fiction books by Black authors such as With the Fire on High and The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo, The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta, Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi, Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman.
For older readers, or those seeking a more challenging book, you may want to try Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, The Colour Purple by Alice Walker, White Teeth by Zadie Smith or Another Country by James Baldwin.
Find these (and more) at the library next term!
Happy half-term and happy reading!
