Saturday, January 15 would have been Martin Luther King Jr.'s 82nd birthday. We celebrate his life, his message, and the spirit of the Civil Rights movement on the third Monday of every January.

Whether you choose to serve, attend special community events, or simply reflect, Canton Public Library has useful resources for you:
