The Week Ahead
Good Evening, Melrose!
Yesterday marked the first day of Black History Month, an important time to honor and celebrate the countless achievements and contributions of Black individuals throughout history.
In honor of this important time, the Melrose Public Library (MPL) will host a Book Club discussion on “All That She Carried,” written by BIPOC Author and American Historian Tiya Miles. MPL has also curated a selection of Black History Month books for children.
