Get Weird Book Club

Named after the state-designated African American Cultural Heritage District, the Facility adds to the area’s cultural significance by offering arts, business, cultural and entertainment programming.

The APL Cooking Club meets monthly on the 2nd Tuesday from 5:30-6:30 at the Central Library in the demonstration area. We gather to discuss monthly topics, play with our food, share stories and recipes, and learn from each other about cooking.

Celebrate with us all winter long. Join us for crafts, music and more!

This February, we are hosting a variety of author events, crafting sessions, movie screenings, and more to honor the contributions of African Americans in the arts. Find an event near you.

APL loves film and we are featuring several events to showcase them. Join us for one or more! All are free and open to the public.

This month we are collaborating to bring you a full day of cooking related events.
