Welcome! Middlebury Libraries are highlighting books, music, film, and related podcasts that help us celebrate and reflect on black history. Below you will find books, e-books, films and other text-based resources from our collection. For recommended podcasts and music, click on the "Podcasts" tab to the left of this box.
If you wish to recommend a resource, please email library@middlebury.edu.
While we at the Middlebury Institute Library believe in the power of books to open minds and hearts, we acknowledge that reading isn't enough. Check out these local events for ways to get involved and celebrate with the local Monterey community.
Not in Monterey? The "Websites and Databases" and "Films" tabs provide broader resources.
