Celebrate Black History Month @ Ropkins Library!
This February, Ropkins Library celebrates the unique experiences and contributions of African-American culture through film and creativity. Join us as we honor the sacrifices and purposeful work of our ancestors, who paved the way for today’s achievements.
This year’s theme highlights African-Americans who broke barriers and made space in industries that once excluded them. Every Thursday, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, we’ll watch an inspiring film and create themed crafts. Don’t miss this chance to learn, reflect, and express your creativity!

About Ropkins Library...
In May 1995, the Ropkins Branch and the S.A.N.D. Everywhere School library merged. A new 5,600 square foot state-of-the-art facility opened in December 1998. In March 2023, the Ropkins Branch reopened following a renovation. It now houses the Hartford History Center Annex.
The renovated branch is open to the community.
Ropkins is open Monday-Thursday from 10am-5pm.
