Hispanic Heritage Month begins on September 15 — a nod to the anniversaries of national independence of numerous Latin American countries — and runs through October 15.
At NPL, we celebrate Latino people and traditions both past and present through arts and crafts workshops, book clubs, puppet shows, Collection Spotlights, dance demonstrations, and more.
Rachel Rodriguez is a singer, songwriter, teaching artist and mother of two. Through her interactive bilingual music and movement presentations, children develop language and motor skills, learn about Latino culture, and can pick up a little Spanish language too!
