Latinx Heritage Month 2021: Home

Happy Latinx Heritage Month!

We have celebrated Latinx Heritage Month every September 15 to November 15 since 1988. We even have a regional connection: Illinois' then-Senator Paul Simon sponsored the legislation!
Are you wondering why it's September 15 to October 15? Because so many countries in Latin America attained their independence during this month-long period! Check out National Hispanic Heritage Month's About page for more information.
Hispanic Heritage Month, the official page, offers lesson plans, art, and events.
Looking for more? We've got you covered! Check out these films and documentaries sorted by country, revisit our 2020 virtual display, and take a look at some of the books we had on display in 2019.
Check out these South American library treasures on display!
