"On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas with the news that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free. This day came to be known as #Juneteenth, now officially a federal holiday" (NMAACH.SI Juneteenth).

Have you had an opportunity to walk along College Avenue to view progress being made on the library cafe and north side of the building? It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood and the perfect time for a stroll.  Here are a few photos of the progress being made on the cafe and north side of Archer Library.

Yes! We are open.

A temporary construction wall is now in place on the main floor.
