Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month!

Did you know that Hispanic Americans are the largest ethnic or racial minority in the United States?

54% of the population in California, Florida and Texas identify as Hispanic which Merriam Webster defines as someone, “of, related to, or being a person living in the U.S. from or whose ancestors were from Latin America.”

What to read for Hispanic Heritage Month

This month we celebrate the cultures, histories, and peoples of Spanish, Mexican, Caribbean, and Central and South American descent. Popular authors from this demographic include Benjamin Alire Saenz, winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction and American Book Award, Francisco X Stork, Sandra Cisneros, Pam Muñoz Ryan, and Celia Perez author of one of my favorite mid-grade titles, The First Rule of Punk.

Browse, search, and discover.

There are thousands of ebooks and audiobooks, hand-selected by your library, available for reading. Explore the collection through catalog guides, subjects, featured titles, and curated lists. It’s a delight to discover new books through Libby.
