September 15 is the start of Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month! We are celebrating it through some fantastic titles, nonfiction and fiction, that are perfect for readers of all ages. Their accomplishments and contributions in this country must be known and should be celebrated, not just from September 15 to October 15, but every single day. Check these titles out at the Homewood Public Library Children’s Department or place a hold on them through our website’s catalog. Enjoy!
