The Camden County Library System is once again celebrating Black History Month in February with a lineup of workshops, artistic activities and educational programs.
The month is an opportunity to honor the contributions of Black Americans and deepen understanding of their culture and history, offering something for all ages.

A Waist and Beads workshop with Latasha Waters, of the Queen’s Storehouse in Camden, also took place on Feb. 1 at the Nilsa I. Cruz-Perez branch:
