During February in Honor of Black History Month the we will be featuring a tribute to black authors, activists, artists and theologians. This will include Doctor Martin Luther King , Howard Thurman, James Baldwin, and Saint Augustine. (Yes  you read that correctly Augustine was born in and lived in Algeria). We will also give a shout out to Walter Mosley my favorite Noir author and political commentator.  Books by Black authors or related to the the Black History theme will be on display and available for check out.  

Future Displays

Books on spiritual disciplines including prayer, fasting and meditation will be featured for checkout. 

Past Displays 

Social Justice Art Prints Display through November, 2024

Among the library archives I found some stunningly beautiful social justice art prints which are now displayed in the library itself. 

If you can provide the provenance for these wonderful works of art you will win a gift certificate to visit the Museum of Art and History in Downtown Santa Cruz. To qualify you must provide these facts: 1. What group of artists developed these prints? 2. When they developed them? and 3. How and why they ended up at Trinity?
