Hispanic Heritage Month at EPL
Evanston Public Library is proud to join the nation in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, honoring the histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latine communities.
Throughout the month, the Library is highlighting staff-curated book and film lists that showcase a wide range of voices and perspectives—from history and biography to fiction, memoir, and Spanish-language cinema. These collections invite Evanston residents to explore stories that reflect the depth and diversity of Hispanic and Latine experiences while offering opportunities to learn, reflect, and connect.
