October celebrations in the LRC

This month in the LRC we are celebrating Black History Month, National Poetry Day & National Libraries Week.

Black History Month

The month of October is Black History Month in the UK.  Black History Month provides an opportunity not only to celebrate achievements but also offers a chance to raise awareness of the events from history, identifying lessons which can be learned from the past.
