According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, “The United Nations General Assembly designated January 27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time to remember the 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution. We remember Holocaust victims by reading their names, lighting candles, and learning about the Holocaust.”

Monday, January 20 is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, commemorating the life and legacy of Civil Rights Movement leader, activist, and minister Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. BCPL will be open that day. Honor his memory by reading one of the many books that discuss his aspirations and accomplishments.
