The Black Life and Literature Book Club meets the second Saturday of each month from 1 PM – 2:30 PM. Please join us as we discuss Read Until You Understand: the Profound Wisdom of Black Life and Literature by Farah Jasmine Griffin. The Gloria J. Coles Black Life and Literature Collection is a rich collection of materials that are either authored by African Americans or that speak to the African American experience. The collection is named in honor of Gloria J. Coles, Director of Flint Public Library from 1984 through 2004. It was her vision that began the Library’s decades-long commitment to collecting and growing the Black Life and Literature Collection.
