Every year in September we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Beginning on September 15, we make an intentional effort to highlight the history, lives, and achievements of people of Latin American heritage living in the United States.
For this blog post, we are spotlighting the several booklists in our catalog featuring children's books with Hispanic themes, characters, or written by Hispanic authors. All of these booklists were created by NPL staff, so you know they are full of good books. :)
Are you looking for picture books that will delight the youngest children? Check out this list from the team at Read to Rise! Read to Rise is our reading incentive program for children ages 0 to 5. Want to know more? Ask your favorite Children's Librarian!
Although the Green Hills branch is currently closed for renovations, its Children's team is still out here recommending titles for both picture book and middle grade titles. Check out this list put together by Miss Terri!
NPL Children's staff developed several booklists compiling diverse picture books across the catalog. Our list featuring Latino/Latinx, Hispanic, and Latin American children has over 100 books for you to enjoy. Want more diverse books? Go to the Children's section under "Books and More" and scroll down until you see "Diverse Books."
Every book in these lists, of course, is good for every day of the year. Reading books about characters of all types of backgrounds is how we become well-read. What books will you discover this month? Happy Reading!
