Hispanic Heritage Month Part 2

The ALA has also started a campaign to increase public library use by Latinos. They taped many public service announcements with Spanish speaking librarians. One of my former students, Semi, who also works for the Metropolitan Library System and the Cicero Public Library, recorded a couple at they are now being used all across the country on Spanish radio stations.

Thank you for writing this blog! It's a great little recap of what we've been celebrating this past month.

As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to an end, I hope everybody had a great time learning about the culture and sharing their accomplishments with the community!

It's such a wonderful time to share and gain knowledge. It's also a great time to be aware of the issues facing the community and what we can do about them.

For example, right now, there's one influential Hispanic who's doing just that.
