Librarians and Bookstores Support Black Lives Matter
At the beginning of June, Publishers Weekly (PW) put out a list of Black-owned bookstores, noting, “Activists across the United States are encouraging book lovers who want to show support for the ongoing protests against police violence to buy books from black-owned and African American-focused bookstores. PW has compiled a list of black-owned stores for readers to shop at. Any of the following stores would surely appreciate the business.”Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena, Calif., also released a list of Black-owned bookstores, saying, “We appreciate the large amount of orders for anti-racism books that we have received! Thank you so much for the support! But we also encourage you to purchase anti-racism books, or ANY books for that matter, from Black-owned bookstores. This ensures the money you are spending on anti-racist learning goes towards supporting Black communities.” In related news, NPR released an interview with Boston librarian Stacy Collins, “How Libraries Are Supporting the Black Lives Matter Movement.” If you have any resources to add, please share in the Comments section below.
