In honor of Black History Month, the Mepham High School Library has a number of books on display from the Schomburg's Black Liberation List for Young Readers. In 2021, Schomburg Center marks 95 years of collecting and preserving Black history, arts, and culture. Additional books are located on the classroom side of the library.
