Tyler Public Library Celebrating Black History Month
Black History Month is rapidly approaching and as we spend the entire month learning about the many contributions African Americans have made to our society, The Tyler Public Library is inviting everyone in East Texas to stop by and learn more about Black history.
The library will be hosting a month long celebration of Black History with several events and programs that will help educate and inspire you and your family.
There will be an interactive activity at the Library where you explore history through the Green Book used by African Americans during the Jim Crow Laws era from 1936-1966 to find safe businesses and establishments that would serve African Americans. You can begin their journey in the Library Lobby by picking up an activity guide and then visiting historical locations listed in the Green Book at stations posted throughout the Library.

We are extremely excited to announce that Zion Elementary School District 6 with the help of the Illinois State Board of Education and the Lake County Health Department, will be implementing rapid testing (BinaxNOW) within our schools starting January 2021. Rapid testing will help facilitate the continuation of in-person learning throughout our entire District.
In August of this year, we asked our families in what format they wanted their students to return to school, and we listened. From the first day, we began planning for the 2020-2021 school year we made it a top priority to give our families the option to pick the format in which they wanted their student(s) to attend school. Implementing BinaxNOW in our buildings provides us an incredible opportunity that will allow us to continue offering our families a choice regarding how they want their children to learn; whether that is in-person (“Bricks”), or virtually (“Clicks”). The health and safety of our students and staff is always our number one priority, and though the number of positive COVID-19 cases within our district remain low, we are thrilled to add another layer to our multi-tiered health and safety plan.
