Black History All Year Grades 5 - 8: Multcolib School Corps
(Updated 6/2025) A collection of non-fiction materials about African-American History for students in grades 5 through 8. The library has already-prepared Buckets of Books on this topic that you can check out. The Buckets contain books similar to those on the list (though not every title is exactly the same) plus a teacher's guide. See link below for Buckets of Books. This is a custom book list created by Multnomah County Library School Corps librarians. Are you a teacher that lives or works in Multnomah County?
