This Black History Month, join Queens Public Library as we commemorate 100 years of Black History observances in the United States. From Dr. Carter G. Woodson’s founding of Negro History Week in 1926 to today’s national and global celebrations, this centennial honors a century of recognizing Black history, culture, achievement, and resilience.
Explore programs, booklists, and resources for all ages that reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and look toward the future of Black history.
Lunar New Year is an East Asian tradition for welcoming a fresh start to the new year, as well as for honoring ancestors. In reverent celebration of 2026, the Year of the Horse, we invite the community to join us for a selection of programs—including traditional music, crafts, storytimes, and more. Plus, browse our reading recommendations for all ages.
