Radiant Child
the Story of Young Artist Jean-Michel Basquiat
In celebration of Library Card Sign-up Month, we've put together these book recommendations based on the themes of the each new library card created from the 2023 library card art contest. The contest was inspired by the 2024 Black History Month theme of African Americans and the arts. It honors Black art and artists in and from Oakland as well as the influence of Black art on the cultural landscape of our city. Check these books out using your new limited-edition library card!
