Welcome

Latino Books Month:

Lets Eat Celebre los libros during Latino Books Month and honor Latino authors of Spanish and English works in May. Witness the birth of Chile during the reign of the conquistadors in Isabella Allende’s novel Inés of My Soul, or learn about how a family becomes Americanized after fleeing the Dominican Republic in How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents. Readers can also revisit that famous house in Chicago The House on Mango Street, or stroll down the streets of Spanish Harlem Down These Mean Streets. Read books by Hispanic American authors, and check out the Library's books in Spanish.
