In June 2020, staff organized several lists of books and films at New Lenox Library to better understand current events and the history of racism in America. These resources focus on a variety of topics, including historical context, systemic inequality, anti-Black violence, protest, intersectionality, allyship, education, hope, celebration, and resilience.
Our collection is always growing. View our New Releases for a list of monthly new media.
