In celebration of Women’s History Month, ACPS librarians are recommending some of their favorite age-appropriate reads throughout March. Stories of women who have made significant contributions in our society and everyday lives should be shared beginning at an early age. These books are a part of the ACPS library system, and we encourage students and families to check out these informative and captivating books.
Women’s History Month is a celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture and society and has been observed annually in March in the U.S. since 1987. Learn more at the Women’s History Month website.
