Throughout Black History Month and every day, we celebrate Black voices in literature. We invite you to reflect on Black history, Black joy and the Black experience with this reading list from our adult collection.

January 29 is the National Day of Remembrance of the Québec City Mosque Attack and Action Against Islamophobia. On this date in 2017, six people lost their lives at a Québec City mosque. This reading list will help deepen understanding and spark conversations about Islamophobia and the Muslim experience in Canada.

Turn the pages of these 2021 releases to read stories of love, joy, struggle, magic and mystery in YA fiction centered on Black characters.
