WHO ARE WE?
THE BLACK LIBRARY was founded in 1993 by Kevin L. Fisher & Lloyd E. Hart, Jr (Click Boston Sunday
Globe Article). This organization evolved out of our interest and love of reading,
particularly African American literature. Locally we found a lack of supply and variety of
such literature. Therefore, we started gathering African American literature form sources
in and outside the greater Boston area. We soon amassed a sizable inventory and were able
to serve our friends and associates in the (Black) community. This naturally evolved into
what is now THE BLACK LIBRARY BOOKSELLERS.
THE BLACK LIBRARY’S mission
is one we found people can understand and relate to very easily. We will provide the
community with a bookseller who understands their need for a personal service which
extends far out side the normal/traditional retail setting (store). We will attempt to
bring Black Literature to those who can and want to read, at an affordable price. The
lovers of reading will have a bookseller that looks, thinks and talks about the similar
issues which are effecting them. We will make it a easy to purchase any black book in
print and have it delivered in Boston & Cambridge,
Massachusetts, at a $2.00 fee. We will also provide them with a book list that is informative. Orders can
be placed by phone. And arrangements can be made to use our mail order service (at a
minimal costs).
THE BLACK LIBRARY is always open to suggestions from our customers in order to provide them
with the best services a bookseller can offer. Being open minded has led to our NEW
service, BOOK PARTIES. Email

THE BLACK LIBRARY booksellers are brothers who care about bringing black books
to the community, so people can be better informed about issues effecting them.
THE BLACK LIBRARY would like to express thanks to our customers who have used our Book
Party service as a way to bring family & friends together for some
entertainment, conversations and book buying. We hope that more of you will use this
service when planning get-together and barbecues this spring and summer. Remember the host
of the party can get up to 4 free books.
