#REIMAGINEYOURLIBRARY... This #BlackHistoryMonth, we're hosting a #rhythmandrhymesstorytime festival with our friends at #CentralLibrary and you are cordially invited to #LIBRARYOUTLOUD! Prepare to join us for #acelebrationofthearts. The #BlackHistoryMonthFestival, which focuses on the theme "#sentimentsofsankofa," will celebrate history, heritage, and the humanities through #spokenword, stories, and songs. Sentiments of #Sankofa is an artistic response to #CarterGWoodson's call to revisit the contributions of African Americans and Dr. Jerrie Cobb Scott’s call to see ourselves in books. The interactive exhibition explores archival resources and the vital importance of #BlackCulturalExpression through the lens of #BlackLibrarianship and the literary works of #RGregoryChristie. -Stevie #historyheritageandhumanities / #AARI23 ・・・ BLACK HISTORY MONTH FESTIVAL #AfricanAmericanReadIn Saturday, February 25, 2023 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. #RHYTHMANDRHYMES 11:00 a.m. - Noon "Only Passing Through" #StorytimeConcert & #AuthorReading #UNBROKENLINE Noon - 1:00 p.m "Freedom in Congo Square" #JazzConert on the Plaza & #lunchatthelibrary #AUTHORSHOUR 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. "Jazz Baby" #AuthorTalk & #BookmakingWorkshop #SCRIBESANDVIBES 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. "No Crystal Stair" #OpenMic Performances & $100 #OpenMicContest 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. "One Last Word" #SpokenWord Concert & HeritageQuest suitable for all ages + free and open to the public ・・・ Sponsored in part by: @fulcolibrary • @popupstorytime • @authorshour • @scribesandvibes • @libraryoutloud ・・・ Central Library One Margaret Mitchell Square Atlanta, GA 30303 Call 404-612-8700 or visit the branch to register. ・・・ Spread some book love: donate new or gently used books to the Friends of The Library (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoJSvqFutqC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
