National Hispanic Heritage Month Resources
National Hispanic Heritage Month honors the cultures and contributions of both Hispanic and Latino Americans. Our librarians in collaboration with the Office of Community Belonging have hand-picked a selection of books to recognize this celebratory month, which takes place every year from September 15 through October 15. Many of the resources in this list can be viewed in ebook format. Patrons can also review the books in person by visiting the display at Payson Library.
