NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH
SEPTEMBER 15 - OCTOBER 15
Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month
from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the
histories, cultures and contributions of those whose
ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean
and Central and South America.
The starting date of the celebration, September 15,
is significant because it is the anniversary of independence
for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico
and Chile celebrate their independence days on
September 16 and September 18.
The LLC has a display of books by and about Hispanic
authors. Come down and learn about this fascinating
culture!

BANNED BOOKS WEEK
We celebrate freedom from censorship during Banned Books Week from September 23 through September 29. Students may be surprised by how many of their favorite books have been "challenged" in the past. During this week every year, Americans remember that "Free People Read Freely".
