The Palm Beach County Library System has curated more than 1,000 books featuring black girl protagonists. Celebrate with a special story time by Palm Beach County Administrator Verdenia Baker and a performance by Orisirisi on Fri, Feb 14 at 10:30 am, sponsored by the Friends of the Palm Beach County
Library System. Preregistration is required. Eleven-year-old Marley Dias was frustrated by the lack of books about black girls in her school curriculum, so in November of 2015, she launched a campaign
to collect 1,000 books where black girls are the main characters and #1000blackgirlbooks was born.
Find our collection of #1000blackgirlbooks in the children’s area at the Main Library. The collection includes picture books, beginning readers, chapter books, biographies and young adult titles.
The Main Library is located at 3650 Summit Boulevard, West Palm Beach, 33406.
