Wayne County Public Library s bookmobiles and seven locations are 100 books heavier and that much more informed about America s long and complicated racial history.
From little-known histories to more comprehensive accounts, the Wayne County Racial Justice Coalition, the county s public library system and Buckeye Book Fair partnered to donate some 100 black-themed books for adults and children in an effort to make American history more accessible.
For Susan Roberts, assistant director of the county s library system, the gift of books was enough to pique her interest. We re always interested in expanding our collection, and having a broad range of books available for everybody, Roberts said.
