AAPI Heritage Month
Celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month at EPL
Join us this May as we honor the rich histories, diverse cultures, and lasting contributions of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. Throughout the month, explore curated book lists, engaging events, and educational resources that highlight AAPI voices past and present. Whether you're discovering new stories or deepening your understanding, the library is your place to connect, learn, and celebrate.
Visit the Sinag Filipino-American Art Exhibit on the 3rd Floor of the Main Library. Sinag is a group of Filipino-American painters, sculptors, photographers, writers, and poets whose mission is to connect with other Filipino-American creatives to celebrate their heritage and increase their visibility.
