Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month September 15-October 15! Our librarians have carefully chosen diverse titles for adults, teens and children of all ages.
Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.
