#July is Muslim American History Month
This month, we've put together a list of books by and about Muslim Americans. These books are available in multiple formats and cover various topics, from history and biography to fiction and poetry.
Jacksonville Public Library has an AMAZING collection of books featuring stories and information written by and about people from varied backgrounds, races, ethnicities, life experiences, and viewpoints. Throughout July, the Library will highlight books in our collection by and about Muslim American heritage including here on our blog, through book displays in your local library, and via reading challenges for all ages on Beanstack. Happy Reading!
