Come hear local author, educator, and social activist Dwight L. Wilson, whose six-volume historical fiction series follows an enslaved Black family from 18th-century Africa to the American Civil War. His work is triumphant, carefully researched, and the kind of storytelling that makes history feel alive. ✒️

Free and open to all!

We made the news! Concentrate covered our new Moving Together program for seniors ages 55+, and it's a great look at what's possible when a community invests in its seniors.

Moving Together is a free summer program designed to keep Ypsilanti-area seniors active, connected, and having fun, with weekly events like bingo, co****le, art classes, and virtual fitness. Pick up your activity log at any YDL branch to get started, and earn prizes all summer long! 🎉 Learn more at ypsilibrary.org/movingtogether

Thanks to Concentrate Media for the coverage, and shout out to Molina Healthcare of Michigan for making this program possible. 💙

Our Summer Challenge is more fun when more of Ypsilanti is playing! Pick up a free yard sign from any YDL Youth Department, write your secret code on it, and register it so your neighbors can log your code all summer long. Can you guess where this sign is hiding? 🔍
