Much More Than a Day OffThe library will be closed on Monday, January 19th, in observance of a National Holiday that marks Reverend King's January 15th birthday. King’s life works were a ‘tipping point’ in U.S. history and his accomplishments continue to inspire.
To read more about Dr. King, we recommend a trilogy of books written by Taylor Branch. The series chronicles King's life by period, from 1954 to 1968. A range of other great books about King's place in our country's larger history will appeal to both adults, teens, and children. For a quick list, click here.
Also check out the MLK Day of Service Project, which asks each of us to spend some time this Monday making it a day on instead of day off....
