Wow! We are amazed that over 130 tickets to see author Julia Quinn, were reserved in 60 seconds today. Clearly the ton is anxious to attend the literary event of the season.

Unfortunately, that meant many folks, including staff, friends, and family were shut out for reserved seating. If you missed out, we share your disappointment.

Sorrows, sorrows, prayers.

We’re celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with Spanish language books recently added to our World Language collection. Next is Paletero Man by Lucky Diaz. Find it in our catalog at https://bit.ly/HHMReadDiaz Explore more Spanish language titles, for kids and adults, at all five APL locations.

Siga a nuestro narrador mientras pasa por su concurrido barrio en busca del Hombre Paletero. Pero cuando finalmente lo alcanza, los bolsillos de nuestro narrador están vacíos. Se necesitará la ayuda de toda la comunidad para conseguir este sabroso manjar ahora.

Hispanic Heritage Month is a month-long celebration of Hispanic and Latino history and culture. While we celebrate Hispanic and Latino communities beyond this month, from September 15 to October 15 we give extra recognition to the many contributions made to the history and culture of the United States, including important advocacy work, vibrant art, popular and traditional foods, and much more.

It began as a week-long celebration in 1968 under President Johnson and was expanded to a month by President Reagan 20 years later in 1988.
