Participants in the Family Sleuth project are invited to work together as sleuths to identify African Americans who have made contributions to American History using clues that will be sent to you.
The African American Historical/Genealogy Study Group of Evanston invites families with children in middle school or high school, as well as adults to work together as sleuths developing research techniques and skills to learn genealogy resources and the importance of keeping records & documenting your family's history.
-Families will be provided with the necessary tools and research materials.
-This project will honor families with respect and celebrate the diversity in our communities.
-Through a Community Grant received from Evanston Cradle to Career, this program is free to interested families.

The Robert Crown Branch Library, located inside the Robert Crown Community Center, was opened in early 2020 to extend library services out into walking distance of some of Evanston's most diverse and historically underserved neighborhoods. The branch features a computer bar, laptop loaning, study rooms and a community meeting room, an expanded Spanish-language collection and bilingual staff, an outdoor reading garden, and dozens of programs each month for children, teens and adults.
