February is a month of love—not just romantic love, but love for stories, libraries, heritage, and human connections. This post is in celebration of Library Lovers’ and Black History Month, as well as Haiku Writing Month. And blends books about libraries, love and friendship, books by Black authors, and more. Whatever you’re looking for, I am hoping you will find something for you in this February reading list.

So go ahead, dive in, discover new favorites, and celebrate the power of words to bring us together.
