Library Closed on Juneteenth
2029-06-19 09:00 - 19:00, 2030-06-19 09:00 - 19:00
The Bellaire Public Library closes annually on June 19th in observance of Juneteenth, a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery and recognizing freedom and emancipation in the United States.
Juneteenth, the oldest known celebration of the end of slavery in the United States, is observed every year on June 19, the day the news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, in 1865. On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger and Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, bringing news that the American Civil War had ended and enslaved people were now free, 2½ years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation became official on Jan. 1, 1863. The 13th Amendment, ratified in 1865, abolished slavery throughout the United States.
Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021.

The Library will be closed on the 4th of July. On July 4, 1776, the Founding Father delegates of the Second Continental Congress ratified the Declaration of Independence, which stated that the Thirteen Colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain, and established the United States of America. We hope you enjoy the festivities and the spirit of freedom this year on the 4th!
