Happy Hispanic Heritage Month from Jersey City Free Public Library

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month from Jersey City Free Public Library! 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.

As part of our commitment to remain a welcoming space for all JCFPL encourages our patrons to celebrate this Hispanic Heritage Month with us by attending one of our many programs that highlight the culture and contributions of Hispanic Americans.

“I can’t say enough nice things about how nice and hospitable the people who work at this library are. My only regret is that I didn’t start visiting it sooner!”
