Whitewright Public Library observes Civic Season with Libby
Held between Juneteenth and the Fourth of July, Civic Season is a national holiday co-created by Gen Z and our country’s most iconic history institutions designed to turbocharge civic engagement. Now in its fifth year, Civic Season invites thousands of participants across the country to visit museums, learn history, connect with their local communities, and imagine the future of the United States.
Linking together our oldest federal holiday (July 4th) and our newest (Juneteenth), Civic Season is all about exploring the nuances of history, considering our nation’s promises, and reckoning with where we have fallen short. This year, as we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States, young people across the country are stepping up to make their voices heard and to shape the next chapter of the American story. The Youth250 Bureau, an initiative of the nonprofit Made By Us, consists of 100 Gen Zers working to bring youth voice to the 250th, and some of them have selected the perfect Civic Season reading list.
From fiction to nonfiction, dystopian stories to new takes on our history, check out these books on the Libby app from your local library to celebrate Civic Season!
