This month at the Kirstein Business Library & Innovation Center (KBLIC), we’ve been testing out new book display furniture just in time for Black History Month. We’d love for you to come by and share your thoughts on the new setup before the display switches!

On display this month, you’ll find books that highlight the rich history and vibrant future of Black American contributions in entrepreneurship, labor, finance, and technology.

We also have even more books, eBooks, and audiobooks available across the Boston Public Library Branches, so we’ve put together a digital booklist of titles to complement the display. Plus, with so many great resources supporting Black women in the workplace, we created a special booklist just for them! Check both of those out below.
