African-American Page!

I am pleased to announce the addition of a new page to this blog highlighting African-American resources...books that our library owns and websites of local interest. The page is currently under construction, but there are some titles and links up.

If there is a African-American genealogy book that you'd like to recommend the library purchase or a link that you'd like me to add to that page, please feel free to email me - 
monica (at) pawls.lib.ms.us with the information.  Thanks!
