"Harlem Rhapsody" by Victoria Christopher Murray
"In 1919, Jessie Redmon Fauset is named literary editor of "The Crisis"—the first Black woman to hold this position at a preeminent Negro magazine. But she is also having a secret affair with the magazine's founder, W. E. B. Du Bois. Despite rumors of their liaison, Jessie is determined to prove herself. "The Crisis" thrives… every African American writer in the country wants their work published there. When her first novel is released to great acclaim, it’s clear that Jessie is at the heart of a renaissance in Black music, theater, and the arts. She has shaped a generation of literary legends, but as she strives to preserve her legacy, she’ll discover the high cost of her unparalleled success." - NoveList Plus

About the branch
Life-long enrichment characterizes the North Hill Branch Library experience. Opportunities for learning and entertainment for customers of all ages abound in the library's programming - from preschool story times to family movie and craft days, from book discussions to stitching and cooking, from computer classes to GED and yoga classes.

Working closely with local organizations serving refugees in their first phase of their resettlement in our city and those working with senior citizens in the neighborhood, North Hill Branch Library continues a strong tradition of serving both Akron's newest community members and those families who have made Akron their home for generations. There's something for everyone at the North Hill Branch Library.
